Transient acantholytic dermatosis spreading among Republican Party...

From Wikipedia:
Quote:
Grover's disease often starts quite suddenly.

It results in very itchy spots on the central back, mid chest and occasionally elsewhere.
Frequently, it follows sweating or some unexpected heat stress.<snip>

Grover's Disease is mainly seen in males over the age of forty[4]
and the papules are most commonly found on the mid chest.
Sometimes the features of Grover's are found in people who do not itch or have a conspicuous rash.

It is thought that Grover's disease affects chiefly white adults in the fifth decade or later,
and appears to be around 1.6 to 2.1 times more common in men than in women.
Grover's disease appears less commonly in darker-skinned individuals, but has been reported.

Some Top Republicans Are Breaking With Grover Norquist On New Revenues
Quote:
Add Republicans Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Peter King to the list
of top party members in Congress who are increasingly breaking
with conservative Grover Norquist's "Taxpayer Protection Pledge."

All three said on Sunday talk shows that they are willing to add
more tax revenues as part of a deal to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff"
in January, a position that is becoming commonplace among Republicans
despite the fact that it would violate Norquist's pledge to not raise taxes.
