To my recollection, Gaffney's "personal" problems with Norquist are not outside of the context of this article. That is, Norquist's strangely strong association with terrorist-Americans.
I think it's a bit misleading to suggest, even obliquely, that this is a matter over a stolen girlfriend.
The only one suggesting THAT is you... Gaffney made a fool out of himself over his bigotry and was publically expelled from the Norquist Wednesday meetng until he apologized to Khan, the president and several other people. So now Gaffney has an axe to grind. Even if every verifiable allegaton Gaffney lovved turned out to be true, there is still no there there.
And if t did have to do with a stolen girlfriend, as you suggest, how would Gaffney have explained that to his then wife?
