Grover Norquist is No Useful Idiot'
|
Moved to Opinion
In the course of an uncomfortable hour-long television interview with Grover Norquist yesterday, radio and TV talk show host Glenn Beck established a number of things. The most surprising is that the libertarian activist best known for his anti-tax campaigns would rather be perceived as what influence operators call a "useful idiot" -- an individual unwittingly duped into helping hostile forces -- than as an "agent of influence" for those forces. As Bill Clinton used to say, "That dawg won't hunt."
No one who knows Grover Norquist would believe that this Harvard MBA with decades of experience running sophisticated and impactful political and lobbying campaigns at the highest levels of official Washington is an idiot, useful or otherwise. Certainly, he is too smart to have been taken for a ride by relative newcomers to the business, namely Muslim Brotherhood-associated operatives. (As pollster John Zogby recounted in 2001: "[Norquist has] played the role of interlocutor. With all respect, many of the [Muslim] leaders are immigrants and don't have years and years of experience. Grover has filled that void." http://tinurl.com/oebajak)
