Amen. Unfortunately, it seems to me this is a case of "When smart people do stupid things." It's a pity on so many levels, as - rightly or wrongly - Grover has forever compromised all of his views on anything and everything by tying himself to these jihadists.
Yeah, and what gets me is he won't let go. He possesses a brilliant political mind, except I guess, when it comes to his own counsel. There are many that read these forums that are simply too ignorant to appreciate Grover's role in the conservative movement. They are often the same ones that jump on Karl Rove's ass like they actually know him and forget that if they're going to attribute so much power to one man, never forget that he got Bush elected in the first place.
