For the second time in less than 24 hours, ABC's Jon Karl on Tuesday hyped a possible 'newfound willingness' to compromise on raising taxes and a possible abandonment of "anti-tax enforcer" Grover Norquist. 

Yet, this didn't appear enough for Karl who lamented that "even Republicans who say they are willing to violate the pledge say they will only do so by closing loopholes, not by doing what the President wants to do, which is raising tax rates." Talking to Norquist on Good Morning America, the journalist quizzed the founder of Americans for Tax Reform on pledges his organization encourages politicians to sign: "If somebody signed this 10 years ago, 18 years ago, 20 years ago, are they still bound by it?"
