Norm is a personal friend, if not an especially close one.

But he is as about as centrist as you can possibly get. However, he despises gross intellectual stupidity, and so much of that is coming from the right these days, he seems like a flaming leftist in their eyes when he calls them on their bullshit. It's not Norm's fault that they are spewing out so much of it these days.
