to hear people discuss national issues. Now, if you want to know what was on Face The Nation, ANY GOP talking head,tv station, radio station etc will do.

Why should he have so much political power? Why is he even a public figure?

I can't think of any unelected person who has this much power on the left.

Did the lamestream corporate journalists lob whiffle-balls at Grover, or did they go gentle and lob powder-puffs? I take it as a given that Norqist wasn't faced with tough, aggressive questioning by intelligent journalists who had done their homework beforehand and weren't going to be satisfied with polemics or generalities.

They had some douchebag from Newsweek who presumably "represented" the "Lib'rul" media who ras seriously trashing Obama. Schieffer pointed out that he had worked for the McCain campaign.

Any respectable journalist would have put in a disclaimer first before spouting off his biased opinion.

I just read his wikipedia article and it was absolutely fascinating. From what I can tell he's still a British citizen but left Britain for the US because he loves American conservatism so much. His wife is a Somali-born activist who wrote the screenplay that got Theo Van Gogh killed and she's under a fatwa!
