[SIZE=+1][SIZE=+1]Game Over for Grover Norquist?[/SIZE][/SIZE]

Two meetings in Washington today tell the story of the decline of Grover Norquist.
One is Norquist’s weekly “Wednesday Meeting,” a gathering of “more than 150 elected
officials, political activists, and movement leaders” who plot strategy and coordinate
messaging every week. After big losses at the polls in last week’s election and a fracturing
conservative base just as Congress heads into its most important tax negotiations in years,
it’s safe to assume that this morning’s meeting was tense.
Today’s second interesting meeting is taking place at the White House, where Obama is
meeting with a dozen CEOs of the country’s biggest corporations. How did Norquist react
to news of Obama reaching out to the business community, which he aims to represent in
Washington? Not positively. Norquist told the Washington Post the CEOs were “acting like
a group of trained seals” for Obama, posing for a “photo op” to give the president cover.

The goose of Grover Norquist is fully cooked.
