So you know how Grover Norquhist's tax pledge sounds like a 12 year old wrote it

That's because it is.  In an interview with Samantha Bee he told her he made it up in 7th grade

    NORQUIST: My team is winning and it can be taught to Harry Reid. He wanted a $2.5 trillion tax increase last year and he didn't get it.

    BEE: Your team is winning? It's like you came up with this whole idea when you were twelve.

    NORQUIST: It was something I came up with when I was twelve, to get a teacher to...

    BEE: I'm sorry, what did you say? You came up with this idea when you were...

    NORQUIST: Seventh grade.

    BEE: ...in seventh grade?

    BEE (off camera): Yes, the entire federal government is paralyzed because of a document, written by a twelve year old, in 1968.
Sorry thought I would have to wait a day for a vid due to daily show delays but apparently Crooks has it

There are a number of ways, though my favourite is simply to take them by surprise. They're just walking down the street, minding their own business when suddenly, WHACK! Penis to the face.

It takes awhile for the video to be posted on the Daily Show website, but I am watching the show on my DVR and I can confirm the dialogue is consistent with what has been said on the show.

Furthermore, I am depressed by the fact that stuff like this doesn't surprise me anymore.

Me either. This really isn't that shocking considering some of the other shenanigans he has pulled.

WHY THE FUCK CAN'T WE HAVE POLITICIANS THAT THINK CRITICALLY?!!

Okay, I realize that some are smart and capable, but as what's-his-face said in Bill Maher's movie thingy "You don't have to pass an IQ test to be a senator."  No fucking shit.

Smart and Capable? Check. Willing? Doubt it.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I find this thread to be insulting to the intelligence of 12 year olds. Most would be much better politicians than most republicans. (I'm not even sure myself if I'm joking or not  :P)

There was a very example of a group of twelve year olds more capable than Norquist in the very video. Hell, even the much-younger kid that wanted to make robots made more sense.
