- CNN ASKS CANTOR ABOUT SILLY BRITNEY SPEARS NONSENSE: Whoa hey this turned out to be some kinda coveted chunk of 2-hour-news-cycle hobo meat, huh? We were just trying to make some sort of exaggerated gay joke about nothing, but now it’s at the point where CNN.com’s top political ticker story is Eric Cantor’s crucial response to his fiesta at the Britney concert. He says it was “quite a show” and “I hand it to the performer, she was something,” so we can fairly conclude that the exaggerated gay joke about nothing has come full circle and
it can now please please dieuhh give us more links about this and stuff, thanks! [CNN]
I was prepared to give Cantor a pass under the assumption that he was merely chaperoning his 12 year-old daughter and her best friend (I’m a father of a young girl, and would do just about anything for her, too). But when it turns out Cantor went to the concert without a pre-teen daughter in tow… well, that tells you pretty much all you need to know about Eric Cantor.
Congratulations, Newell, you just WON THE AFTERNOON. Mike Allen will be along shortly to give you a handjob.
I can’t wait for the “essay” the “reporter” “writes” about this shit-bag of a question.
Eric Cantor. Professional tool. Quite a show? She lip sinks and shakes her blubber around the stage and that’s quite a show. Meh, I suppose it beats the striptease Karl Rove was doing at the fundraiser.
Truckers Association? I see.
Noone from the Truckers Association would be caught dead at that show. Truckers limit themselves to Skynyrd, Van Halen and the Doobie Brothers.
Trucknutz Association maybe. Truckers Association never.
“”Her background dancers were really something,” Cantor added as an afterthought. “You have to wonder how many hours those guys spend in the gym to get that look…” he trailed off, awkardly, causing this reporter to leave rapidly, using an upcoming Q&A with Zach Wamp (R-TN) as an excuse”.
So let me get this straight (as ’twere): Cantor went to see Brit in order to “help the team” and was determined that his daughter would NOT go because she would have had to miss school. Something tells me that, to borrow from iolanthe’s brilliant summation, Cantor was buried balls deep in teen boy butt at one of the bathrooms at this venue. I can haz cellphone pics, plz?
Cantor’s like the guy who goes to Chuck E. Cheese by himself, for the salad bar (reference courtesy of Chelsea Handler)
Also, “House Republican Whip Eric Cantor…” No further questions, your honor.
Serolf Divad: If the 12-year-olds will not come to Cantor, then Cantor will go to the 12-year-olds.
Teh ghey, with a whip, no less.
“House Republican Whip Eric Cantor — among the unlikeliest attendees at a Britney Spears concert”
Hell, I’m thinking this is exactly the sort of event those weirdos would flock to.
Serolf Divad: I too am the father of a young girl, and would regard it as my fatherly duty to go watch mostly-naked Britney Spears writhing around on stage for 1 1/2 hours. Although honestly it would probably be more economical if my wife took my daughter out for pizza and I went to a strip club.
I hope Ed Henry is nervously reviewing hypothetical zinger questions for Cantor on this pressing political Rorschach issue.
Log Cabin Repubs at Britney’s Circus show - they’re becoming the Big Tent party after all …
Serolf Divad: Yes, & who are all these other people who allegedly went with him? Sounds to me like he was cruising for some mouse-keteer tail or he mistook it for one of those weird virgin balls (parties–not testicles).
Come here a minute: But Mr. President, why did it take you days to come out about the Cantor/Britney mess when Wonkette was on it immediately???
Dave J.: No way do Britney Spears tickets cost more than a visit to a strip club.
Sooo..Cantor called Barry a facist yesterday, routinely finds every camera and mic to denounce and whine about Obama’s budget, stim, policies etc., but skips the presser for a washed up pop tart sponsered by a “Truckers Association”. And that’s what makes the news?
When you get Shiksa Derangement Syndrome, yawl usually go for the trailer park.
Warning to DC residents!: Do.Not.Get between Cantor and the box office for the Hannah Montana concert.
freakishlystrong: In fairness,* he was responding to a caller who used “fascist”, though he did not contradict it, thereby showing even less class than McCain, who corrected the crazy-haired woman who called Obama a muslim in Minnesota.
*tho why I should have to be fair…
jagorev: Will Newell go on Hardball tonight?
shanemacgowan: I think Eric met some real truckers once at a rest stop …
Everybody remember Cantor’s lame attempt at being a BAMF video with the hard rock music? I think the DCCC just found it’s response.
Why that CNN item is not replete with filthy comments I don’t know. And Cantor didn’t bring his daughter ’cause he didn’t want to squick her out by leering at her friends, avoiding the horrible “Daddy, nobody wants you to drive us to any concerts again ever” scene at the Cantor household.
Well, next time Britney gets preggers, I think we know who the first suspect will be!
I wonder if this is all part of MC Steele’s attempt for the Repubs to be more ghetto and with-it, as if going to a concert by a white trash burnout who was popular with tweens, oh, say, 12 years ago would buy some street cred. They are actually stupid enough that I would not doubt it at all.
Capitol Hillbilly: No, Eric, supporting the trucknutz among your constituents has nothing to do with cupping.
Cantor was just hoping to catch the poor girl during one of her frequent manic phases, when she’s physically unable to refuse sex with any man who has been on television at least once. Please let’s not forget that Brittney is the victim here. How would you feel if Eric Cantor showed up somewhere and begin following you all over the place with his eyes? That’s what I thought.
OMFG Eric Cantor has something new for his thrice daily masturbatory fantasies! No, wait, I’m confusing him with Chuck Todd. Never mind!
If ogling titty is what passes for culture in the Cantor household, who am I to criticize. Unless he was wearing a diaper, in which case, I reserve the right to criticize.
jagorev: Geez, Jag, the top ticket for Britney at the Staples Center is $750. How many Ameros do you stuff in strippers’ thongs?!
Jukesgrrl: given that this is a Republican Congressman we’re talking about, I think you mean diapers, not thongs.
Who the hell cares about Spears–really–and who the hell cares if this Canter guy went to a Spears concert. Really–who the hell cares? What, congressmen can’t go out to a concert? Gawd. Boos to the CNN guy, or whomever, for even posing the question, and many boos to the news channel, or web site, or whatever, that even wasted two minutes on this trash. No one cares if some congressmen went to a concert. What–they can’t have social lives? They can’t go out? Come on, CNN, or whatever–get real. Do your jobs.
