Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) slammed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Twitter and Facebook on Thursday after Palin tweeted denouncing him in favor of his challenger, Republican Daniel Webster.

"What is it about Palin and Twitter?" Grayson responded. "Is it that 140 characters represents the maximum length of Palin's attention span?"

He linked to a Facebook note where he continued in the same vein.

"Yesterday, Sarah Palin once again engaged in her chosen form of mortal combat - the tweet - by attacking me, and endeavoring to promote my Republican opponent, Daniel Webster, to Palin's zombie horde," the note read! .

"What is it about Sarah Palin and Twitter? Is Palin fond of tweeting because she can draft a tweet on her palm?"

Palin had tweeted about Grayson and his race twice Thursday morning, calling him "odd" and "troubled" and his campaign "twisted."

"[Grayson] blatantly lies in vile rant,but greedy media run it anyway w/no fact check," she said. "Florida deserves the best! ... Take pride in Daniel Webster."

A poll conducted Sept. 25-27 showed Webster leading Grayson by seven points.
