Many great tidbits in a National journal story on partying with Grover Norquist. My favorite: โSamah thinks about how to describe what drives her husband. โThe way my 3-year-old and 4-year-old daughters feel about Disney princesses โ thatโs how Grover feels about cutting taxes,โ she says.โ James Taranto writes about discovering the difference between wet and dry prolifers at an Susan B. Anthony List reception celebrating prolife women leaders. But Mayor Bloomberg has created a new wet/dry divide: โIn real life, Norquist enjoys a drink or two, but what he really needs right now is a Diet Coke. โItโs my water,โ he admits. โLast night, we were at the Bloomberg party. Bloomberg has the best food โ chicken pot pie, great roast beef โ but what you canโt get is a Diet Coke.โ (New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed banning convenience stores from selling super-sized sodas after all.) โThey had water and stocks of candy โ I thought about dissolving candy into the water, just on principle.โโ No soda for you, Grover!
