Alan Grayson, he of "Die Quickly" fame, is taking an equally, er, unusual approach to dragging his opponent's name through the mud, reports Talking Points Memo. In a new campaign ad, the Florida Democrat compares the stances of patriotically named Daniel Webster to, say, a certain notorious Afghan fundamentalist group, concluding, "Taliban Dan Webster: Hands off our bodies and our laws."

Specifically, Grayson objects to video of Webster quoting a Bible passage about wives submitting to their husbands. Watch the full ad in the gallery. For more of Grayson's shenanigans, click here. For HotAir's outrage over his latest, click here. (More Alan Grayson stories.)
