That quote by Norquist about working digits was so shocking that I had to Google it. Sure enough, it was quoted here back in February:

So how confident is the party that Romney will bend over? Well, just listen to Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, the anti-tax guru who’s got everybody in the Republican party terrified of revenue.

“All we have to do is replace Obama. ... We are not auditioning for fearless leader,” he said at last week's conservative confab, the CPAC conference. “We don't need a president to tell us in what direction to go. We know what direction to go ... We just need a president to sign this stuff. We don't need someone to think it up or design it. The leadership now for the modern conservative movement for the next 20 years will be coming out of the House and the Senate. Pick a Republican with enough working digits to handle a pen to become president of the United States ... His job is to be captain of the team, to sign the legislation that has already been prepared.”

Romney will sign whatever a Republican Congress puts on his desk.

Hmmm....

Haven't I heard that somewhere else?
