Paging the State-insult outrage police
Remember how nutso people got with Charlie Rangel insulting Mississippi?

Starts at 20:10]
Get it? The non-American residents of Massachusetts are Communists! Oh my God, that's hilarious! I'm sure we'll be hearing from the Outrage Commission shortly. Right?
NORQUIST: I think Romney has done a better job of being good on the Second Amendment, fighting on spending, trying to push reform, while at the same time living in my home state of Massachusetts, where I (sigh) grew up before I immigrated to America.
LEHRER Oooh… Immigrated to America, ouch. We have some people in Massachusetts in our listener audience (laughter)
NORQUIST: I love Massachusetts! My parents live there. I go past Checkpoint Charlie and visit them. (laughter)
