Norquist never had all this power. I don't understand this hype surrounding him. For whatever reason, he's being made out to be some godlike figure, but it's mostly BS.

He fit the role of Republican villain.  They needed to find someone after Rove effectively retired.

He did get a bunch of Republicans to act like idiots.  I think it's unlikely that the Republicans will get as good a budget deal this time as the one they rejected 1 1/2 years ago.

Does it really matter what the deal is though?  Substantial spending cuts can't happen.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

He's lucky he's not in jail.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
