“My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.” — Grover Nordquist (president of Americans for Tax Reform and arguably Washington's leading right-wing strategist.)

Take a good look at Lake Pontchartrain today and just think of it as “Grover Nordquist's bathtub.”

No doubt the arch Social Darwinist of the conservative movement is lying low in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina — bad PR and all that for the movement for him to crow. Hell, people suffering and dying always plays bad in the press.

The word in Conservative circles is that Grover has converted to Islam (no kidding). He has long been a lobbyist for Islamists in Washington, but now he is said to actually have become a Muslim, believe it or not.
