A true man of principle (part 2)

Sorry  if I pile on a guy when he is down... but it is an opportunity to stick it to one of the most odious men in Washington.  Here is that Grover Norquist quote again. 

"The Bush tax cuts lapsed at midnight last night. Every R voting for Senate bill is cutting taxes and keeping his/her pledge."

So using that standard it should have been fine with Norquist if Congress reduced taxes only on persons with incomes below 250,000 USD right?  That stands in contrast to this.  I wonder if any of those Rs who feared primaries if they crossed Norquist would like to re-evaluate their no vote on the fiscal cliff legislation now?

"Hey Mr. Congressman remember when that Grover guy threatened to primary you if you broke your no new taxes pledge....He was just kidding."
