Dime Con Quien Andas…
Tim Bee is having a fundraiser with new BFF Grover Norquist.
Yep, that Grover Norquist.
For some odd reason, he’s having it up in Phoenix. That’s right, outside of his district. I figure, if this guy is so wonderful, shouldn’t he bring him down here so we all can meet him?
Well, maybe he doesn’t want us to. Norquist is a pal of Jack Abramoff, whose exploits helped add the honorific “former” to Rep. J. D. Hayworth’s title. Norquist is one of these guys who with one hand argues that big government and taxes restrict freedom, but then with his other hand works on behalf of dictators like Mobutu Sese Seko.
I suppose Bee wouldn’t want Norquist down here since so much of what the man has worked for runs counter to Bee’s image of bipartisanship. As a matter of fact, he once said that “bipartisanship is another name for date rape.” Classy. I’ll buy a beer for any reporter that asks Bee about this quote tommorrow.
His classy rhetoric also extends to other issues like comparing the estate tax to the Holocaust and his creepy assertions that the fecundity of conservatives gives them a built in electoral advantage. Hey, I didn’t make that one up. He even seems to think that domestic violence is no big deal when committed by a Republican.
Personally, I’d like to see how much of Norquist’s Social Security eviscerating agenda Bee agrees with. Notice that he didn’t bring Norquist to Green Valley…

Norquist is suddenly omnipresent in Arizona. Emil Franzi interviewed him Saturday on KVOI, and John C. Scott interviewed him this morning on the same station.

Great question. Likewise, why didn’t Pelosi come to Tucson?

Ted, I guess you’re not on the right invite list. I got asked over to Bruce Ash’s pad for the Tucson fund-raiser with Grover to benefit Bee over the weekend.

Ash is the same jackass who offensively compared the opponents of a retail development on the South Side to Hezbollah.

It should come as no surprise that he feels such an affinity with someone like Norquist.
