It's good, in times such as these, when everyone is warning the Democrats not to be mean to the nice Republicans, to remember how nicely the Republicans treated the Democrats when the shoe was on the other foot. Krugman reminds us of this gem from Grover Norquist:
Democrats will only become acceptable, declared Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, once they "are comfortable in their minority status." He added, "Any farmer will tell you that certain animals run around and are unpleasant, but when they’ve been fixed, then they are happy and sedate."
It's silly to talk about any one party becoming a permanent majority. This is America. Again.
