The "random person" House Speaker John Boehner dismissed for his lack of influence over congressional Repulicans will be on Capitol Hill Thursday to speak to GOP lawmakers on messaging skills.
Grover Norquist, the Americans for Tax Reform president blamed by Democrats for helping scuttle a supercommittee deal this month, will address the House GOP "Theme Team" this week. Norquist is the same person whom Boehner called a "random person" earlier this month.

The House GOP would probably get a lot closer to possessing a clue if they picked a random citizen each month and let them talk to them for an hour.
Who decided that a 13 year old - that is the age when Grover conceived his "no taxes" pledge - should have the ear of an entire political party?
A GOP aide close to the "Theme Team" tells NBC News that Norquist is invited to speak to them once a year. He will be on hand this week to talk about tax policy and the best way to message it etc.
A "random person" speaks to the Theme Team once a year? On a not-very-random topic.
The Republican Party needs to choose between loyalty to Grover Norquist, and to America. Oh, and not that it really needs repeating, but John Boehner is a liar.
