'NYT' Sunday Preview: Norquist Defends McCain on Tax Cut Switcheroo
By E&P Staff
NEW YORK
While the cover story on Chris Matthews has already drawn attention to
this coming Sunday's New York Times Magazine, a Q & A with tax-cut
guru Grover G. Norquist should not be overlooked.
Norquist reveals that he is now working with John McCain, despite once
mocking him, and in return McCain "reciprocates by sending at least
one person to each of our Center-Right meetings."
Norquist now admits that calling McCain a "Bolshevik" was "an
overstatement."
Ask why McCain once opposed Bush tax cuts but now favors making them
permanent, Norquist explains, "He was unhappy about losing the
presidential nomination in 2000. He was very mad at Bush. He was mad
at me, too."
When Deborah Solomon asks, "You're saying he [McCain] opposed the tax
cuts out of spite?", Norquist replies, "Out of understandable pique."
Norquist also argues that the Iraq war has not hurt the economy
