For Whom Does The Bell Toll? It Tolls for Grover Norquist

by Bill Simon

Grover Norquist and his Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) operation(s) are going to be on the hot seat due to a recent complaint filed with the IRS.

The organization Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) recently filed a complaint on Norquist’s use of the ATR bank account to launder money for anti-lottery fights in Alabama coordinated by Ralph Reed and Jack Abramoff.

I don’t know what teeth a complaint filed by a non-government entity has, but if the IRS takes any notice of this, the tax-exempt status of ATR should be yanked and, if any wrongdoing of a criminal nature has been committed by Norquist, I hope he gets prosecuted just like every other white-collar criminal has, vis-a-vis, the Enron crowd.

    Hmmm,wasn’t it Ralphie who caused the Christian Coalition to lose it’s tax exempt status?

    Ralphie the most intelligent man in America. What would we do without his schemes?

  2. Bill Simon Says:

    Why yes it was due to Ralph himself, Albert. He got too cocky in a race in Virginia. You have a very good memory.

  3. HM2 Viking Says:

    Norquist has been running a Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization for years. When will a federal prosecutor open a RICO investigation?

Today's Deep Thought

I remember that one fateful day when coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. 'You don't have to tell me,' I said. 'I'm off the team, aren't I?' 'Well,' said coach, 'you never were really on the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. you show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times.' It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
