Grover Norquist

AFter 10 or so years of having his crazy statements go unchallenged, Republican strategist Grover Norquist must think he can just say anything and no one will call him on it. Least of all a CNN reporter. Here’s the latest, courtesy of The Daily Show‘s Lewis Black:

BLACK: There’s a movement headed up by the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project to get Ronald Reagan’s face on the ten dollar bill. Project head Grover Norquist explained why we needed to dump that slacker Alexander Hamilton.
