Is Grover Being Frank?
Norquist versus Gaffney? I listened to the hour long debate last night on Hugh's show. I read the whole piece by Gaffney at FrontPage (yes, all twenty pages of it) that started the fracas. And?
And I can't possibly untangle this web of charges and countercharges to reach any clear conclusions yet. I agree with The Speculist, that the personal animosity between the two makes it difficult to separate the pertinent facts from the churlish name calling. But I'm leaning toward the views of Ed at Captain's Quarters (pretty smart for a jack booted thug) and the Big Trunk at Power Line that Norquist is not coming completely clean. During the on air debate last night be seemed to choosing his words very carefully, almost too carefully, in a Clintonesque manner in order to dodge questions:
Do I know him? No. Did I meet him? Yes.
For Grover it all depends on what the word 'know' means I guess. Hugh will be replaying yesterday's debate in the third hour of his show tonight, as well as discussing the matter with Prof. Reynolds, The Big Trunk, and...(drum roll please)
The newest member of the Northern Alliance of Blogs; Ed from Captains Quarters.
Congratulations Ed. You will now enjoy all the privileges and distinctions that membership in our organization brings with it. Mitch should be stopping by shortly to drop off your membership package along with a freshly baked loaf of bread, before he plays a rousing rendition of the Northern Alliance fight song on bagpipes. Just our way of saying welcome aboard.
