I believe this is from March 31, 2009.

Here's an article from Huffington post dated April 2, 2009 about the Grayson interview.
"Rep. Alan Grayson Vs. Cavuto: "A Stuck Pig Squeals Loudly"

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) is taking some heat for his bill to ban bonuses and excessive compensation for any employee at any firm benefiting from government bailout dollars. In an interview Tuesday on the Fox Business Network, Grayson was grilled by a fired-up Neil Cavuto, who called the congressman "Sweden in a suit"and said "the Constitution never gave you the damn authority of telling anyone what they should make."

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Grayson blows off the criticism.

"A stuck pig squeals loudly," the congressman says. "I'm going after some of the biggest crooks in the country and they're fighting back through people like Neil Cavuto." "

Not helpful

4. Consider the time

It was 6 months ago. Grayson's debut on Fox and very soon after being sworn in to the Congress. He writes this blistering legislation. But he never loses his cool on the air. And Cavuto becomes unhinged at not being able to corner Grayson nor get a rise out of him with ad hominem attacks.

Imo, Grayson completely owned Cavuto. And I'd really like to see him back on Fox with Cavuto very soon. It's time Cavuto's head exploded.

5. Shameless kick for the late afternoon crowd

6. I remember that one. I thought Grayson

did an excellent job. Cavuto failed to get him riled up.

7. You can see Grayson's future bulldog develop here

He tries to play nice, but Cavuto acts like an ass, ignores the answers he doesn't like, and get/s mean.

Grayson stays on target, but you can see his disappointment that he's been roughed by a clown. A few months later, and TADA- Grayson the ass-kicker emerges, not giving anyone the same opportunity given to Cavuto

I expect to see Grayson continue to hone his attack style, and become an ever more powerful player in national politics.

8. That's how I took it

Cavuto was trying to intimidate the freshman Congressman and was entirely frustrated that none of the usual tactics was working. Turns out it was a preview of things to come in terms of what Grayson was willing to do and how he would conduct himself no matter who comes at him.

Maybe Grayson figures his election was a fluke and he's going all out in his one term. Whatever his motivation, I'm glad he decided to be a brutal truth teller.
