HOT TIP: Grover Norquist on DC Madame Jeane Palfrey's Client List
Related

Grover Norquist - SourceWatch
He is one of the "Gang of Five" in Nina Easton's 2000 book by that name, giving the history of leaders of the modern conservative movement. He has been described as "a thumb-in-the-eye radical rightist" (The Nation), and "Tom Paine crossed with Lee Atwater plus just a soupcon of Madame Defarge" (P.J. O'Rourke).

A lot of the rich and powerful in DC are scared that their “shopping” habits with DC Madame Jeane Palfrey may be exposed. We have recieved a reliable tip that conservative icon Grover Norquist is on that list.

ABC News listed some descriptions of the clients that they were aware of.

Also on Palfrey’s list of customers who could be potential witnesses are a Bush administration economist, the head of a conservative think tank, a prominent CEO, several lobbyists and a handful of military officials.
Our source has told us that the “head of a conservative think tank” is in fact Grover Norquist.

11. YEP! Here's a link to his bio.
http://www.atr.org/home/about/ggnbio.html

Mr. Norquist holds a Masters of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics, both from Harvard University. He and his wife, Samah, live in Washington, DC.

The bio also says he's the Prez of American's for Tax Reform. Is that considered a "think tank"?

13. Married in 2005. Abramoff attended the wedding.
So, Norquist (whose sexual orientation is listed as 'questionable')and Gannon were connected in some way and Norquist also had connections with none other than Free Republic.

I then found out that Norquist has recently been married after many years of being single AND his new bride is Samah Alrayye of the Islamic Institute and a Palestianian muslim. Now that is interesting but it gets even more interesting.

Check this out: Islamic Institute
Founded by Republican activist Grover Norquist.

"Some eyebrows were raised last weekend when The Washington Post reported that Rabbi Daniel Lapin had presided over the wedding of conservative activist Grover Norquist and Samah Alrayyes -- since neither of the newlyweds is Jewish.

10. It will be nice watching these guys play defense for a change....
Maybe they will be too busy to carry out the Rove/Atwater dirty tricks playbook against Democrats.

21. I foresee a long line at the nearest DC "rehab" center...
Edited on Fri May-04-07 10:11 PM by rainbow4321
or a bunch of press releases with: "________ is resigning to spend more time with his family...."

Rehab a la Foley style---be out of the way for a few weeks and then, poof, get "released", never to be heard about again.

Edited on Fri May-04-07 09:00 PM by Morgana LaFey
It MUST be so -- I'm sitting here on such a high. OMG. Who needs drugs?? Gimme more prostitutin' scandal! Couldn't happen to a more deserving pig.

Edit: And by all means, someone correct my spelling as necessary. I definitely want to be able to spell that delicious puppy.

20. It's the thought that counts.
They're all guilty, Morgana LaFey.



Think of the chemistry, crazy monkey.

24. This is delicious!
Edited on Fri May-04-07 11:25 PM by FloridaJudy
It's like one of those French farces, with lovers and mistresses popping in and out of closets and from under beds. I think some one needs to produce an organizational chart to show who's suspected of doing what to whom.

This is far more entertaining than the antics of Hollywood celebrities.

Schadenfreude: it's what's for dessert.

25. Norquist is one of the most dangerous men
in our country, and I would place him at about #5 in that list, right below Rove, Cheney, Bush and Rice. And yet 90% of the country don't even know his name or who he is. If he's on that list, perhaps he will lose some credibility, but I wouldn't count on it. And he's just so cocksure of himself that killing the Madam isn't out of the question with him.

26. Grover has an excuse already...
"One guy swore to me up and down it couldn't have been him -- he loves his wife," Ross said. The man, a well-known member of a conservative think tank, was right: Palfrey, Ross said, had repeatedly misdialed his number by confusing the 202 and 301 area codes.
