Thank you MSNBC - no sign of Grover. Just the way we like it!

Let's hope he was the first to get pushed off the cliff!

Oh I have no problem with watching Grover out there on the talk shows. At least he makes it clear who the Republicans are representing, and it ain't the middle class. That a lobbyist for the interests of billionaires has such sway over that Party, tells you all you need to know about the opposition to the Obama administration. Republicans protect the interests of the very rich because the super rich bankroll their campaigns. Pure (or not so pure) and simple.

Grover with his 'impure thoughts" comment is really funny. Will there be a power struggle between what's left of Grovers' power, Demints' new presumed power, Rove the money man and Limbaugh the blowhard?

So many choices for the TeaPeople v the establishment GOP.

It's funny to see Grover get angry as he sees his power ending. What will be even better is when nobody even knows who Grover was.

We the People want the list of every Republican who signed the Pledge with Grover, forsaking the American People in support of "Greed" We will respond in 2016. Anyone who is elected to Congress and signs a pledge against the American People to be master to someone other than We the People, will be voted out!
