Fresh Blood In The White House

by tristero

As Bush's poll numbers cluster down around a still-phenomenally-too-high-to-believe-there-are-that-many-clueless-people-left-in-the-country 33%, one would think he'd start to reach out for bipartisan support before he runs the country entirely onto the rocks. Y'know, like fire the morons around him and hire some people with at least half an ounce of common sense.

One would think Bush might start behaving like a real grownup instead of a spoiled rich bastard, but one would be wrong. Guess who's been spending more quality time with the president of the United States than ever?

Grover Norquist. That's right. Grover Norquist who, The Carpetbagger reminds us is:
a guy who believes the Estate Tax is morally equivalent to the Nazi Holocaust, calls WWII veterans "anti-American," and believes "bipartisanship is another name for date rape." This is the guy the White House turns to for policy briefings?

Moreover, there's Norquist's recent corruption scandals.
As in Abramoff scandals. Oh, and this is the very same Grover who wanted to drown government in a bathtub (unfortunate metaphor post-Katrina). The very same Grover who said:
Once the minority of House and Senate are comfortable in their minority status, they will have no problem socializing with Republicans. Any farmer will tell you that certain animals run around and are very unpleasant, but when they've been fixed, then they are happy and sedate. They are contented and cheerful. They don't go around peeing on the furniture and such.
And once again, we will hear from Bush about how important it is to have a non-partisan, "respectful" debate.

Grover Norquist, a major adviser to the most powerful man in the world. What next? He'll sit down to get advice from Pat "assasinate Chavez" Robertson? Hahahahahah! Oh, wait...
