Letter: Norquist’s tactics not admired

The Columbian
Published: November 24, 2011, 4:00pm

I caught the interview of Grover Norquist on “60 Minutes” and his acknowledgment that he is adhering to notions that he came to when he was 10 years old. His ability to persuade politicians to adhere to his ideas by threatening them with tons of money proves that we are now being governed by people with no more than the knowledge of a 10-year-old. Our country is truly lost.
