How many rounds will John McCain and Grover Norquist go before one scores a knockout?

“The idea that our friend John McCain yelling at me would hurt me misses McCain’s position” among conservatives, Norquist said. “John McCain thinks he can’t be president if I’m standing here saying he’s got a problem with taxes.”

Mark Salter, McCain’s longtime aide, replied: “Obviously, Grover is not well. It would be cruel of us to respond in kind.”

The Washington Post has a roundup of Norquist’s Abramoff problem.
