this profile on Grover Norquist is so disgusting in SO MANY WAYS!!!!!
Tuna Fish and Hand Lotion

And yet Norquist's bachelor townhouse bears evidence of a man whose ideological core is hard. The art in his living room is early Ronald Reagan. His Costco-brand shirts hang in a closet under a picture of former Senate leader Robert J. Dole (R-Kan.) signing a no-tax pledge.

He is often described as an eccentric. For a bedside table, Norquist uses a giant green canister for Kraft parmesan cheese. He displays what he hopes will be the world's largest collection of airsickness bags. At staff meetings, employees say, he holds court while variously sitting on a giant red plastic ball, eating tuna from a can, rubbing his feet against a massager and sniffing hand lotion as he kneads it into his fingers. He excuses himself to go to "the ladies room."

  •  Ayup (4.00 / 2)

    I couldn't even read the whole thing. I stopped after page 2.

    All I was thinking about is what person in my local that might be part of Norquist's web of radicalism and if I would use a left or right hook, suckerpunch style if ever introduced.

    •  Reducing his collection (4.00 / 2)

      I know if I ever had the misfortune to meet this bizarre creep, he'd definitely have one less airsickness bag in that collection of his.

  •  Give him a beanie with a propeller (4.00 / 2)

    I thought he was some kind of old crusty guy.

    He's actually just an overgrown "college republican", most likely a flash in the pan riding on the coat tails of shrubCo.

    Kos should take him on in a cage match. I'll take bets.

  •  Ewww (none / 1)

    Good eye.  He really is disgusting on multiple levels.  Why is it whenever I read stuff like this, the reporter always has exactly the opposite reaction?  "His manner is charming."  Really?  It's sounds fucking awful.

    "oh my achin hemmoroids!
    where's my big red ball?"

    imagine the smells of his home:
    old parmesaen cheese
    cheap canned tuna
    lotion

    as he rubs his bare feet
    with one hand
    & shovels tuna
    into his maw
    with the other
    bouncing
    on his hemmoroid-relief ball
