Today on WMAL in DC, Fred Grandy referred to an opinion piece that he said Grover Norquist wrote regarding the Democrats learning to live without any power for the foreseeable future--like a neutered dog. It was a hoot and I would like to find it. Can you help?
thanks but that doesn't seem to be it. this one seemed to include how they should be like a neutered dog...once they accept their lot, they will quit urinating on the furniture and be happier. too funny. thanks again.

Many wonder what it will take to restore social civility to Washington, to get Republicans and Democrats mingling again. Rock-ribbed Republican Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, proffered a solution, telling us that Democrats must accept the finality of their powerlessness. "Once the minority of House and Senate are comfortable in their minority status, they will have no problem socializing with the Republicans. 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. They are contented and cheerful. They don't go around peeing on the furniture and such." Norquist assured us that he meant neutered "psychologically" and his metaphor was "facetious." Of course: Let the healing begin.
