Here’s a hilarious new video from Eric Cantor’s office, bragging about how he used his “minority whip” on Obama. It rocks the fuck out to an Aerosmith song. Hot damn! This party could win a whole 30% of votes in the next election. [The Plank]

How can he be against golf carts? He was conceived in one.

marioninnyc February 16, 2009 at 4:17 pm

So the question is did he do this before or after the SNL skit?

wallythepug February 16, 2009 at 4:17 pm

Um, they’re celebrating that the bill passed without them?

bitchincamaro February 16, 2009 at 4:18 pm

I see that ’0′ as a noose. Is it just me?

TedTheLightBulbSalesman February 16, 2009 at 4:20 pm

Does the use of an Aerosmith ::shudder:: song constitute a copyright violation? Because it’d be great to see “this video is no longer available.”

Gopherit February 16, 2009 at 4:21 pm

$1 billion for ACORN? Those Dems have a lot of nuts.

Yes You Can Own A Piece of History February 16, 2009 at 4:22 pm

Ohhh noes! Teh Acorns have struck again.

Min February 16, 2009 at 4:22 pm

Zero. It represents exactly how relevant the GOP currently is.

Quacker February 16, 2009 at 4:25 pm

Sweet Jeebus! That song certainly hits the target demo perfectly – Zealot Christian Wingnuts absolutely perfectly relate to mid-period Aerosmith. Oh, they don’t? Well, then it’s not so great then….

marioninnyc February 16, 2009 at 4:30 pm

who would have imagined that someday the commie son of Malcolm X would be president AND the republic would just implode?

gurukalehuru February 16, 2009 at 4:31 pm

Out of $789 billion, only a lousy $1 billion went to buy acorns? Sounds a bit stingy to me.

FMA February 16, 2009 at 4:33 pm

Wow, Aerosmith. What, is his record collection a little light on Foghat?

marioninnyc February 16, 2009 at 4:39 pm

[re=244576]FMA[/re]: I was thinking Toto’s “Hold the Line” myself.

loquaciousmusic February 16, 2009 at 4:49 pm

I’m surprised they didn’t use “Whip It.”

azw88 February 16, 2009 at 4:52 pm

Other than the fact that the audio sucked, and the graphics moved to fast to read, and the few texts that you could read were completely inaccurate, I’d give it a 78, Dick Clark!

BigDupa February 16, 2009 at 4:54 pm

Scoreboard!

cleverhandle February 16, 2009 at 4:57 pm

we’re sorry, this video is no longer available.

conspiracy??

HipHopOpotamus February 16, 2009 at 5:07 pm

[re=244574]gurukalehuru[/re]: I only hope we can buy enough to combat the mystery of the missing acorns with only $1 billion.

nrkeyqueer February 16, 2009 at 5:14 pm

So, was this supposed to be posted to funnyordie or something? Because its not and they should.

hobospacejungle February 16, 2009 at 5:16 pm

In this Republican video I distinctly heard the words “saddle” and “back.” Saddleback. The buttsecks. Are the Republicans on to us? Oh noes!!1!!

davesnothere February 16, 2009 at 5:25 pm

gaggh – gurgggle – barf – !

Hooray For Anything February 16, 2009 at 5:29 pm

This video is sort of the equivalent of watching the 2008-2009 Detroit Lions Season Highlight Video.

DoctorCulturae February 16, 2009 at 5:57 pm

If the irony has so many layers is it still irony?

To Repubfails “bipartisan” means they do everything they want and no one on their side cries. Of course on the other side people die, but whatevar. In conclusion.

Hooray For Anything: win

comradepaulson February 16, 2009 at 6:12 pm

Is this is the way the Republicans are reaching out to the young? A bunch of graying hair-rockers from the 70s? Dream on, GOP, dream on…

Trace February 16, 2009 at 6:39 pm

[re=244612]cleverhandle[/re]: Nah, more likely that they’re just being pussies. Maybe Rush disapproves of Aerosmith. While you’re living in Rush’s country, you will respect his wishes. When you grow up and move out to your own country, you can listen to whatever music you want, but while you’re living in HIS country, you’ll turn that noise off!

titsmcgee February 16, 2009 at 8:08 pm

Of all the reasons why I’m glad I live in the sliver of Richmond that isn’t represented by this epic failure, I think his staff’s hard-on for YouTube is inching ever closer to the top of the list.

Obfuscatrix February 16, 2009 at 8:21 pm

OMG, Cantor and company totally remind me of the A-V guys in my 1970s era high school class. Socially inept oafs constantly on the make and oblivious to the put downs by every other faction at the school. I can’t help but believe they must have shopped this thing to SNL and unintentionally provided it inspiration for this weekend’s show opening.

Plus, they’re still LYING about things like ACORN. There is no money designated for ACORN in the bill.

melvin February 16, 2009 at 8:24 pm

I think Aerosmith’s “Sick as a Dog”, on the same album as “Back in the Saddle”, would’ve been more appropriate.

Crapola February 16, 2009 at 8:39 pm

I’m guessing the fact that the lyrics of this song depict trolling bars for hookers completely escaped their attention. This lack of attention to detail or context pretty much falls in line with my expectations of the GOP Failboat.

Dr Tobias Funke February 16, 2009 at 8:49 pm

On Catwhore’s You Tube channel-
Strict constructionist conservatives strangely ignoring the whole part about free speech and
moderating comments! Shocking!

Lets make sure this video never gets above 1 star! / Write the RIAA / Comcast every day until they shut down catwhore’s internets (which would probably be doing him a favor, but still!)

I love how the video is down to 1-2 stars and that all of the positive comments are racking up hits on the ‘thumbs down’ icon

T-Bone February 16, 2009 at 9:35 pm

Wow, 300 billion for new cars for government workers? I had no idea Oprah would have such a pivotal role in the Obama administration.

You have new car! You have a new car! You have a new car!

T-Bone February 16, 2009 at 9:36 pm

[re=244767]T-Bone[/re]: Err, 300 million that is…

the bf February 16, 2009 at 10:03 pm

I wonder how many members of Aerosmith are registered republican?

Mr Blifil February 16, 2009 at 10:17 pm

Just so we’re clear, it’s definitely a buttsecks song, right? It’s bad enough conservatives want to claim the movie “Groundhog Day,” now they want to claim the ghost of Joe Perry from when he could still play. Meanwhile if you had played this shit to Eric Cantor back in 1977 he would have stained himself.

msmoneypenny February 16, 2009 at 10:38 pm

Fuel efficient/hybrid cars to replace the gas guzzler gov cars we have is too logical–saving automaker jobs while saving taxpayer money by replacing inefficient gov vehicles. I won’t stand for it. LET THE MARKET CORRECT ITSELF by worldwide implosion. Problem solved.

snideinplainsight February 16, 2009 at 10:48 pm

If this is going to be bypartisanship, the country’s screwed!

S.Luggo February 16, 2009 at 11:45 pm

Pray, DLC nancy Barry, that you will realize, after multiple knees to the crotch, that never will there be any bi-pard.

Though virtue is its own punishment, I am tired of getting punished by the Repugs on your behalf.

In today’s Republican vocabulary, an offer of compromise is equal to an admission of ideological corruption and flaw, to be exploited by the NeoCon media as comparable to an acknowledgment of pedophlia.

Learn your lesson. No prisoners.

Thought all you kids where up on the hip new cultural references.

[re=244590]Gopherit[/re]: [re=244596]loquaciousmusic[/re]: I was hoping they’d show off their super self-awareness skillz with “Eat The Rich.”

Captain Swing February 17, 2009 at 7:05 am

To summarize: Barack Obama has done more to try fix the economy during his first month in Office than Cantor and his clowns managed in the last eight years.

Does the leadership of the GOP have even the vaguest idea of how utterly irrelevant their Party is becoming? Let’s not tell them. Let’s just sit back and enjoy it.

[re=244806]S.Luggo[/re]: Amen. The People booted the Republicans out for good reason. The President should not hesitate to rub their noses in it when required.

mrtrailsafety February 17, 2009 at 3:21 pm

Mr Cantor’s TruckNutz have been reported missing, since his wife’s firm took bailout money. Just sayin’…
