GOP hero Norquist says Republicans should take the economy hostage again—and repeatedly

Someone is going to have to explain to me again why noted anarchist tax-troll Grover Norquist wields more apparent influence in Republican thinking than any actual elected politician or other government official. He's a troll, and he's trolling, because that's what he does.

Some of his new bluster on the "fiscal cliff" and debt ceiling, however, is beginning to sound positively Rovian:

“Obama will be on a very short leash, fiscally speaking, over the next four years,” he said. “He’s not going to have any fun at all, he may just have to go blow up small countries he can’t pronounce because it won’t be any fun to be here, because he won’t be able to spend the kind of cash he was hoping to.”

Oh, take that, Mr. President! You see, because you like to spend cash! You will be reduced to invading places like Grenada as our great leader Ronald Reagan did, but you will mispronouncing those places for some reason! Ha ha, scoundrel, I have vanquished you!
Fine, whatever, Brain Trust. Knock yourself out with that. Grover's advice to Republicans, however, seems to be just as silly. Will Republicans notice that, or will Grover be able to keep them on that short leash?

“Republicans have three tools,” he said. “One: the sequester. The Democrats fear sequester more than Republicans because it actually reins in spending.”

And I didn't think it was possible to loathe him more, but now I do.

And I think he's trying to deflect criticism from his ties to that degenerate organization by rearing his fat, ignorant, adolescent head up into the other lobbying interest of his for cover. What Mr. "poopyhead" doesn't get is that we are on to him and he will soon be disappeared if he doesn't go away on his own. This guy seems to have been socially stunted at about the age of twelve and can't seem to grow up and realize that we don't want him and his fascist friends running our lives for us. He needs to STFU and go to hell.

He's never been elected to office and is too much of a coward to ever run. So he needs to shut up. He can go and cast his one vote like the rest of us to be heard.
