Grover Norquist is an Asshole

Every once in awhile I run across a story that is several days old that makes me sit up and say, "How the hell did I miss that one?" And this would definitely be one of those. The pertinent quote:

“Bob Sherwood’s seat [in Pennsylvania] would have been overwhelmingly ours, if his mistress hadn’t whined about being throttled,” said Mr Norquist. Any lessons from the campaign? “Yes. The lesson should be, don’t throttle mistresses.”

Hmm. I would have thought the lesson would be don't cheat on your wife. But then we're talking about the morality-challenged Grover Norquist. Amanda Marcotte cut right to the chase in her piece on this at Pandagon last week.

They don’t make mistresses like they used to. Back in the day, your mistress knew her place.

Here's a lesson for Norquist: A woman isn't "whining" when she calls 911 afraid for her life after she's been "throttled" by a man. Asshole.
