Fla. rep on estranged wife: ‘Gold diggers gotta dig’

The saga between Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) and his estranged wife took another turn after an agreement on terms for their divorce fell apart.

{mosads}”I’ll sum it up for you: Gold diggers gotta dig. That’s all I gotta say,” he told local ABC affiliate WFTV on Monday after leaving the courtroom, accusing Lolita Grayson of reneging on an agreement.

His estranged wife of 25 years, Lolita, filed for divorce early last year. The House member and former telecom company co-founder has sought an annulment on the basis of bigamy, and they appeared to reach terms last month on an annulment, which would not require equal division of $30 million in assets.

She also said in October that she and her four kids were living in a moldy house after he didn’t pay for repairs, and that Grayson had cut off her credit cards.

Grayson has eyed launching a 2016 Senate bid for the seat being vacated by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is running for president.
