Grover Norquist accidentally makes sense; recants after bare-ass spanking by Kochs



"Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist raised a lot of eyebrows on Monday when he told National Journal that a carbon tax might be on the table if it were swapped with a cut to the income tax.

'It’s possible you could structure something that wasn’t an increase and didn’t violate the pledge,' he reportedly said.

<>

But one day later, after being criticized by the American Energy Alliance, the advocacy arm of a Koch-supported energy think tank devoted to promoting fossil fuel development, Norquist has completely reversed his statement, saying there virtually 'no conceivable way' he could support a tax on carbon."

How did those crazy thoughts get into his poopy head?

The son of a bitch can't order eggs at breakfast without asking for an income tax cut.

What we need to do is throw the fucker in jail for undue influence on the Republican Party, and leave him there.
