You almost have to admire the chutzpah of Grover Norquist. For a man with no elected office and lacking the billions of the Koch brothers, Norquist exerts a phenomenal amount of influence on American politics. From his ability to force the entire GOP to pledge not to raise taxes under any circumstances (except on the Middle Class and poor, of course) to his latest act of arrogance in essentially threatening the President of the United States, Norquist is quite sure of himself.
In an incredibly smug and self-satisfied interview with the National Journal:
NORQUIST Obama can sit there and let all the tax [cuts] lapse, and then the Republicans will have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach. The last year, he’s gone into this huddle where he does everything by executive order. He’s made no effort to work with Congress.
Wow. Let’s ignore, for a moment, that the Right Wing working definition of “made no effort to work with Congress” is “give us everything we want or we will bring the gears of government to a standstill.” Just focus of the threat of impeachment.
