It has been said that in the early days of his too-brief career as a guitarist, when Jimi Hendrix entered a bar to entertain other guitarists would pack up and leave in embarrassment.
For me, Norm, you have become the Jimi Hendrix of the political word. May you live long, and prosper!

The Duke - Before I was a writer I was a musician. I and most of the musicians I knew, no matter how accomplished they were, found our instruments unconquerable. Jimi Hendrix was a glorious exception to any such limitation. You do me great honor and I am mindful of it. Thank you.
Best, Norm (firehat)

I'd like to see Norm do something along these lines called "Just Once"...as in:

Just Once...

I'd like to see Ari Fleischer say, "Helen, why don't you just shut the hell up."

It would be nice to see Rummy answer a question at a press briefing with, "That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever been asked..."

Could we see a little more Sarah Jessica Parker on "Sex in the City"...ok, maybe not.
