Norquist seemed relatively sane on the CSPAN 9-9-9 panel discussion but here, in print again, comes off as a loon. I'd tell him where to stuff it.
Because LaTourette has never heretofore even so much as questioned his pledge. Therefore a reasonable person could believe that he, like all the other Congressmen that signed -- whenever they signed -- continue to honor that pledge.
Seems to me the proof of that is how loud LaTourette barked when poked by the MSM on the issue. If it wasn't of significant import to him (viz versus what he knows his constituents back in Ohio believe about honoring that pledge) he could have, in lieu of a reply, told The Hill to go stuff themselves. But he didn't, did he?
And yes, LaTourette is a douchebag.
