Grover “Drown Government in the Bathtub” Norquist is relieved that World War II vets are dying because WWII vets are “anti-american socialists.”:http://atrios.blogspot.com/2004/09/greatest-generation-is-anti-american.html

Norquist “is not well liked”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Norquist but nevertheless has close ties to the Bush administration.

That interview was probably conducted in English, translated into Spanish, edited for clarity in Spanish, edited by an El Mundo editor of unknown political persuasion in Spanish, excerpted and translated by a “progressive” blogger, and now is being presented as a clear expression of Grover Norquist’s views.

Before, I knew absolutely nothing about Grover Norquist’s views. After reading this highly processed excerpt I still consider myself to know absolutely nothing about them.

And you’re a right-wing nutjob. That’s OK, I love you anyway.

This absolutely THRILLS me to know there is another right-wing nutjob reading this blog. And it warms the cockles of my heart to know that John can still love someone who’s a right-wing nutjob. Gives me hope . . .

This isn’t the first time that Norquist has stuck his foot in his mouth. In fact just a week or two ago, he was insulting his own party… specifically Republican governor Taft of Ohio:

“We HAVE to hold OHIO. We have an idiot, stupid, corrupt, dumb rotten republican Governor in that State who has been busy looting the state, raising taxes, lying to the gun owners.
Ohio is the only state that in the nation that has lost jobs and isn’t recovering because he’s been beating the economy to death in the state. But he’s not on the ballot, George Bush is on the state. It’s not helpful, he should be taken out and horsewhipped.”
