I hate to pollute such a inspiration with politics, but scrll down ont he LS;SP site and see a piece of very well justified evisceration of Grover Norquist.
We already knew he was a menace. This smirking, smooth-talking moral vacuum, this avaricious monster who masks his pathological greed as a pathological hatred of anything smacking of “gummint,” this peddler of shopworn lies who wants us all to believe that government is Something Else, some Other outside our control, that civic life and civic duty are beyond us, who wants us to think we are disempowered so that we will join him in smashing the very hallowed institutions that have empowered us all for centuries. This thug who hates anything and everything that looks like the America we know and love. This walking Enclosure Act, whose shit-smeared grin reeks with the tragedy of the commons. This parasite, whose glossy coat depends on the hatred he can churn up against people much better than himself. This nasty, hollow wretch who has forgotten if he ever knew what government is for, who actively works to prevent others from leaving this world a better place than they found it.
That's before getting to the latest of Grover's sins, comments by John Loftus, on Keith Olbermann's show Norquist's ties to Abdurahman Alamoudi, who is charged with money laundering, and suspected of aiding terrorist groups. In fact, that may just be the start of Norquist's role in this:
LOFTUS: There’s a lot more to go. Norquist had a lot of other clients. There’s a whole alphabet soup of Saudi agencies that funded terrorism in this country. They had an awful lot of protection. And, one of the things we may find about 9/11 is that people out in the field weren’t allowed to connect the dots and questions will be asked weather guys like Grover Norquist were part of the problem?
LS;SP does the math better than I can..
