If Gaffney did say what Norquist is saying he said, then the White House staffer is owed an apology unless Gaffney has PROOF to back up his allegations.

Otherwise, Norquist is correct to disinvite a person who has apparently slandered a White House aide.

In the old days, this would have already been settled in a properly masculine fashion--dueling pistols at ten paces.

Norquist is perfectly within his rights to be angry if Mr. Gaffney cannot substantiate the charges.

Okay, thanks for the ping. I now have a better understanding of the disagreement. I sure wish someone would invite the two of them over for a beer and settle this misunderstanding / feud in private.
