OOOH guys, there is a gross brawl going on in the lunchroom! “I heard Obama pushed Cantor!” “I heard Cantor tried to kick him!” “He started it!” “He interrupted me!” And that is your main political headline this morning, that both parties are flinging rumors about what happened inside a closed-door meeting between Obama and Cantor as they fought about the debt deal. Is it really different from any other Day in Washington? No, except that everyone is getting a righteousness boner from these rumors that Obama cold screamed at Eric Cantor, because Cantor is a shrill weasel. Immediately after Obama left the latest talks cursing the Republicans, Cantor ran out to the reporters to tattle on the bully, and this is Major News.
Webzine POLITICO breathlessly reports:
When Cantor said the two sides were too far apart to get a deal that could pass the House by the Treasury Department’s Aug. 2 deadline — and that he would consider moving a short-term debt-limit increase alongside smaller spending cuts — Obama began to lecture him.
“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would sit through such negotiations.
Democratic sources dispute Cantor’s version of Obama’s walk out, but all sides agree that the two had a blow up. The sources described Obama as “impassioned” but said he didn’t exactly storm out of the room.
“Cantor’s account of tonight’s meeting is completely overblown. For someone who knows how to walk out of a meeting, you’d think he’d know it when he saw it,” a Democratic aide said. “Cantor rudely interrupted the president three times to advocate for short-term debt ceiling increases while the president was wrapping the meeting. This is just more juvenile behavior from him and Boehner needs to rein him in, and let the grown-ups get to work.”
“Even Ronald Reagan could not have coped with your steaming pile of crap” is apparently the worst insult you can throw at a Republican?
Meanwhile, Moody’s announced they are putting the U.S. credit rating “under review” just to add to the hysteria, including a potential downgrading if lawmakers only get a short-term debt deal passed. Ancient gay sea turtle Mitch McConnell responded to this news of pending apocalypse with his usual, “as long as Obama doesn’t get re-elected, then whatever.” [Politico/ HuffPo]

Damn uppity President.
From MUP to DUP, a DC story.
Exactly.
Yeah, really, who does this negro think he is? The President of the United States, or something? How dare he cut off a member of the lower house at his own house.
Well, at the very least, this will allow the bromance between Obama and Boehner to flourish now that Cantor is on the outs.
I don't know how Hopey hasn't gotten out the bat and just start swingin'. As far as I'm concerned, being in the same room as that smug asshole ___________(R), and not killing someone shows remarkable restraint.

The dinner scene from the Untouchables. DeNiro as Capone at a table with his captains. He picks up a bat, strolls around the table, then breaks the skull of one of the captains. Dark red blood on a crisp white table cloth.
It's a beautiful thought isn't it?
"Part. Of. A. Teeeeam!" BLAMMO!!!!
I beginning to think that one of the first best steps America can take to recovery, is for President Obama to drag Cantor out back and beat him like a rented mule.
The fact that Cantor is still walking around wasting oxygen suggests that Obama maybe has started chippin' smack.
Have someone else do it.
We're paying attention to Politico again????
Oh, you know, why not?
Mike Allen obviously just rolled out of bed right before he went on to Morning Joe today. I couldn't even listen to him because all I saw was how his collar was totally askew.
He opened his reddened hangover eyes and pulled himself out of bed 45 minutes before airtime with the promise of free Starbucks on the set…
I know. Do they even pay the make-up people anymore?
The baby Jebus weeps.
Everyone else does for some reason.
"Ancient gay sea turtle Mitch McConnell …"
If I hadn't dated a crazy Kirsten already, I'd be asking you to marry me…
Yep, almost lost a mouth of coffee.
Wow, my crazy one was a Kristen. Juxtaposed letters, but still an interesting coincidence.
Wow – you dumped someone for having dyslexia?
Liberals = intolerant!
I loud out laughed.
Satan (queer).
What about getting Gay married?
"Thank you for calling Bachmann & Associates. Your call is very important to us. All of our Reparative Therapy Consultants are currently busy attending other homosexuals. Please continue to hold and your call will be answered in the order in which was received."
I can agree with a short term debt extension, as long as the cuts are to Eric Cantor's face.
They already got to his johnson.
Haha, I peed a little when I read that, that was awesome. A bizzilion whore diamonds to you good sir or madam.
Give this sir or madam more p-ness, pleazes.
Between this and Euro debt crisis, the Market is going to tank. Just what the economy needs. THANK YOU REPUBLICANS!
Sir, I have a cunning plan…
You wouldn't know a "cunning plan" if it were sitting on your face.
What is this a quote from? I apologize for being so uncool and unknowing not to recognize it without aid.
Black Adder?
It's what they want, to see the world burn.
And then next year, they can blame the roaming bands of Road Warrior wannabees on the President.
I blame the IMF and World Bank, along with every multinational corporation and their client-states, like the USA and the Eurozone.
well i for one am going to boycott our debt crises and turn my attention to europe's various summer meltdowns for the following reasons:
1. the murdochs are suitable stand-ins for eric cantor in the asshole category. and they are in a delicious bind.
2. silvio berlusconi says we cooler things than, well, almost anybody.
The official GOP excuse, if they succeed in blowing up the economy:
"It's Obama's fault, for not surrendering."
It's beer summit time!
Not in Minnesota!
Make it whiskey.
1. Pour it on Cantor's head
2. light a match.
Them nigras ned to lern to do whatin their betters tell 'em
Even if the latter is a Jew?
Cue: Grand Wizard heads exploding all over RIL MURICA.
There was a reason the Klan made a point of publically stating that they are not affiliated, nor support, the Tea Baggers.
The best red-neck in literature is Huck Finn's Pap; I recommend to all his soliloquy on Black men in politics!
At noon today Obama will meet Cantor behind the Monkey Bars. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
I can see it now…Obama will show up with Biden rubbing his shoulders and giving him sage coaching advice. Meanwhile, Cantor will be a no-show, hiding with his teeth chattering in the far toilet stall in the women's faculty restroom.
Cantor just gave me his Lunch money to fight you, what gives bruh – Allen West
This could apparently all be settled with a winner-take-all game of dodgeball, but it would be even more pathetic than the yearly congressional "baseball" game.
My shares in the hobo bean manufacturing sector are doing fine, so screw it.
Never mind, Sarah Palin to the rescue! http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/14/p...

Don't retreat reload – what a great idea! Can't believe no one thought of saying that before.
Sorry cannot read. I fear the stoopid is contagious.
Great. The last time she said that, someone got shot in the head.
The real eye-openers are the comments. I got a few scrolls down, and not a SINGLE one positive of Sno-Snookii. Could there be hope?
It's the only reason I get out of bed in the morning.
"Our president is essentially suggested the other day that he's not able to prioritize, as the chief executive of our nation he can't prioritize," she stated.
Note to Ed: There is no part of the above which constitutes a statement.
God, I haven't even heard the term dodgeball in years. More things should be settled, that way, for sure.
It's so cool when the president has a backboner.
Ah that Cantor. He's a snaky little bitch isn't here?
St. Reagan would have stomped Cantor into human jelly, spread him on a crumpet, fed it to Nancy and then prompty forgotten what he did.
Do it Barry, call these fuckers out on national TV and ream their asses. Truman had his "do nothing congress" and Obama has a know nothing congress. Come to think of it, the "Know Nothings" are the historical antecedent of the present day jackalopes that are the current Republicans.
The know nothing congress FTW
You win the internets for today for the use of the word "jackalopes."
Cantor's story is probably about as true as someone taking deliberate shots at Cantor's office.
I am surprised Cantor didn't carve a "B" carved in his own forehead to whine about.
I blame Jon Stewart. He interviewed Cantor because they were college friends, or some such nonsense, and Jon helped the thing get re-elected. Jon is a naughty boy.
I can't watch his interviews with these clowns anymore. He tries to pretend that they are people that should not be reviled. Weak.
Wouldn't you love to get that sneering asshole and Maddow on the same set though? Chicken shit would never do it, you'd have to trick him.
It did happen on Election Night 2010. Well, not on the same set, but it was Maddow/Olbermann/Matthews interviewing Cantor. (It was the same night that they interviewed Bachmann by satellite and some jackass had the big "How's the tingle, Chris?" poster behind her.) All Cantor could say was to repeat "It's so good to be on MSNBC!" *snicker snicker snicker* "It really is great to be on MSNBC!" *snicker snicker snicker*
Our Republican brothers and sisters would do well to remember the words of their unlikable former colleague, Phill Gramm: "Never take a hostage you're not prepared to shoot."
Does bleeding the hostage to death count?
Oh, Can'tor is willing to shoot… he has a financial incentive to shoot…
That's why the GOP's teabagging dickwads are being so intractable: they have no Plan B.
I am seriously confounded and curious as to exactly what in the hell is going to happen. Aren't the Wall Street overlords screaming?? (cept the ones who also invested in Cantor's short sell of America) It is NOT about governing for the Corporatocracy folks. It is about making money and winning elections and making money for the “people” who help them win elections. It is a game, period. Fuck ‘em. All of them.
If the rich were going to get hurt more by this shit than the average person they'd find a solution. Unfortunately they can withstand the fallout better than we will be able to.
Wall St. definitely wants it done (except for firms like the ones Cantor has ties with) but they're trying to keep it on the d/l from their TPer foot soldiers. They're really trying to have it both ways: get the deal done, but fuck over Obama/the poors/middle-class as much as possible. Winning for them is not enough, they also want to annihilate the opposition.
Wish I could give you more than one up vote. Really I do.
An old high school buddy is up near the top in the Chamber of Commerce, he says not to worry the deal is done.
It doesn't look done to me.
Deal is done, fix is in. Tomato, tomahto.
I feel your pain.
The Republiklans are in full panic. Caught between their corporate overlords and Sarah Palin.
That in itself, speaks volumes.
"Cantor said the two sides were too far apart to get a deal that could pass the House by the Treasury Department’s Aug. 2 deadline."
Meaning the President wouldn't give Cantor everything he wanted and nothing in return.
Anyone else kinda feeling like a default is going to hurt them more than us? I mean, we got nothing left to lose. THEY on the other hand will have to go back to only getting 8% raises and smaller bonuses for a few years. That'd be worth it, right?
Anyone else kinda feeling like a default is going to hurt them more than us?
You wish.
It will hurt us more than them. I wish there was a way "the people" could get control over this political farce.
pitchforks and torches…hard to muster when all we have are wii controllers and maglites.
I think I could do some damage wielding a maglite.
I was gonna say, a MagLite is a pretty awesome club.
My flashlight has a strike bezel, so I'm good.
I'm not sure about politicians, but we could surely fuck up some HDTVs.
total win ++++++++++
Cantor is actually betting against a deal with his own personal investments. Some kind of shady fund or something that bets Treasury bills drop. The guy is an uber dick.
That seems pretty insidery or treasonous or something to me….something that should get this prick sanctioned or expunged…or something.
I think the expression is "shorting US currency"
If the preznut did it, many would dare to call it treason
Well, I have been monitoring the poll numbers on TPM and the numbers for us are creeping up, us being the Prez and Dems in Congress, not short, top-heavy, overly snarky Brits.
short, top-heavy, overly snarky Brits numbers never go down
(As opposed to the Brits themselves)
(Sorry I couldn't help myself, the devil in the blue dress made me do it.)
I'm sure their poll numbers never go down … but I would hope that short, top-heavy, overly snarky Brits go down.
Doncha just lov saying "short, top-heavy, overly snarky Brits?"
Kinda like "litte old lady got mulitated late last night" (Werewolves of London snark)
I'm worried I'll lose my job looking for work.
nah. that job will be lost.
at least for me.
You have to understand how "trickle-down" economics works. All the bad shit? They'll trickle that shit down on us and they will find a way to make money off of it, selling us towels or something like that.
"Trickle down" is just the three-syllable version of "Fine Shower of Piss"
As perfectly illustrated in this classic image: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/sfcI8tLuLCyP...
Its like watching my Son and his friends argue over the merits of X-Box over Playstation.
Playstation is WAAAY better dude..
Playstation Network was hacked and got my moms credit card info now she pissed so Im stuck with this X-Box dude. (thats what I heard)
It's all about Kinect vs. Move now. Try to keep up.
The correct answer is Atari 2600.
People just can't deal with it when a black guy justifiably gets angry and expresses it like an adult.
Bammerz: "Hey, quit being a dick so we can actually do our work."
Cantor: "HE"S GOT A KNIFE! ZOMG WHY ARE YOU THREATENING ME!?"
Cantor strikes me as the type of jerkoff who is patronizingly rude to servers.
I'd like to think that corresponds to many a meal spent ingesting the semen/fecal matter/snot of some underemployed "freeloader" unfortunate enough to wait on him.
Rule #1 Never be rude to people who have to Serve you Food. Get upset later but never when your food being prepared. Trust Me on this One.
That rule is right up there with Never Be Rude to Secretaries. They can cause you problems that you never even imagined and you can never prove it. One of my good friends was a secretary at an Ivy League school when her husband was finishing up a post-doctoral appointment. A person on a temporary but reappointable position from another office asked her to do something and threw a tantrum when she said she'd do it if she had time. Guess who was not reappointed?
I make it a point every morning to compliment the Secretaries at the Lab cause I know the shit they put up with has to be painful.
That's a much better reason to be nice to secretaries but it doesn't resonate with a lot of people for some reason, so I usually go with that "or-else" reason.
I did notice Cantor's Adam's Apple was quivering when he was tattling to the press, which must be the equivalent of a teabagger orgasm.
I wonder how many other guys have looked down and seen Cantor's Adam's Apple quivering while he was peforming special favors.
In my best gravel-voiced Gunny Highway/Clint Eastwood impression:
"Well, Cantor, guess I oughtta just bend ya over the table there and nail ya in the keister. Send ya home with that "just-pumped-the-neighbor's-cat" look on yer face."
It wouldn't be Wonkette if someone didn't just go straight to the buttseks.
No reach-around.
Cantor? I thought he just sang at Bar Mitzvahs and maybe danced a little at Purim.
Really. This is so… What is the word I'm looking for? Childish? Stupid?
BTW, we are freakin' doomed.
"You're a chicken — and I'm a chicken hawk!…" (dusts off jacket, rolls up sleeves, scowls up at his adversary through slightly askew glasses)… "Are ya gonna come quietly or do I have to muss ya up?"
hey china, suck it. america will pay you back in ringtones and porno.
Is there a conversion rate for that into RMB?
We could give them Rebecca Black, maybe?
She DOES look small enough to run through the looms, cleaning out dust and such…
But, she doesn't work weekends. No deal!
China doesn't need America, not really. We raise our own food, holiday in SE Asia and if we want blonde women, we find lots of skinny ones in Russia!
…Because we can just keep the debt ceiling from collapsing in on us by propping it up with whichever GOPer goes into rigour mortis next…
Grandpa used to say: "never bring a Cunt(or) to a cock fight."
Oh, and downfisty, please to look up the voting records of all these pearl clutching assholes. Voted every time to increase the debt ceiling under Dubya. Hell, no one even knew what a fucking debt ceiling WAS ferchrissakes. Voted FOR two wars, two tax cuts and a really fucking expensive gift to Phrama, ALL unfunded. The wars have only been put back in the budget under….Obama.
Needlessly cut taxes three times and raised the debt ceiling seven. . .seriously folks. Obama had Slytherin powers to fuck the economy up in less than three years?
Even Bush's last Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson said: "As a general rule, I don't believe that tax cuts pay for themselves."
http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2010/...
Why this isn't pointed out every time one of these jackholes open their mouths when they rush to the teevee cameras is beyond…oh, wait.
Silly. Reporters don't have editorial control. Shareholders do.
Just so you know….Charlie Rose on PBS mentioned that same point yesterday. So at least one person in the American media is paying attention. And the best part is that Saint Reagan raised the debt ceiling 8 times which is one time for each year of his presidency. American Exceptionalism!
De-fund National Broadcasting!
What's the over/under on how many times the phrase "goddamned n****r" was used after Obama was out of earshot?
All of them, Katie.
Hell. IN earshot. I would hope a few "ignorant crackers" got thrown around as well.
I imagine it was fucking uppity ni**er though.
It's nice that they are giving Moodys a second opportunity to destroy the economy again.
Yeah – remind me again why those fucktoads are even allowed to exist after their stellar performance before the big kaboom?
BTW – project manager I used to work with is now in legal compliance at Moodys – lets just say she was not missed here.
Seriously. You want to send investors fleeing and wreck the U.S. economy? Then just have Moody's issue the U.S. a AAA rating. No surer sign that we're fucked and on the verge of financial collapse.
You know, if at first you don't succeed….

How dare Obama act like that! This is Eric Cantor, he was far to civil to that shit; that he didn't even saw "go fuck yourself, you cocksucking asswipe" is disgusting.
There is no bigger fucking pussy than Cantor, running with his skirt around his ankles to Fox News, complaining that he got pimp slapped by Obama for being an obtuse douche nozzle.
He's the biggest crybaby I've ever seen. I wish he would run for President.
I understand, Eric. Black men are scary. Sometimes you have to cross the street if one is coming your way just in case he'll try to steal your white women or sell you crack.
A $20 bill will keep you safe from angry black men in public toilets, too.
Or offer to sex you
Walking out of a meeting? That's not news at all! I do it all the time.
Notify my when Barry cock slaps someone in the middle of a meeting.
those chickens in the picture and the road mark don't seem Americans.
Where was that come from?
Would you like some crackers with your whine.
Let's just remember who was in the White House when those shekels got spent Mr. Cantor, and iffin' the douche nozzle Bushies or steaming pile of dog poo Saint Ronbo didn't like Congressional spending they coulda vetoed it, but didn't.
edit: added the "steaming pile of dog poo" in honor of McDownfistie
edit²: added "douche nozzles" in honor of McDownfistie's second
Obviously, there was a Democratic Congress from 2001-2006. Explains everything.
Well, as least we know whose cock was bigger in that fight…
"Cantor said the two sides were too far apart to get a deal that could pass the House by the Treasury Department’s Aug. 2 deadline."
That's because Cantor has spent months running farther and farther away.
Fun Facts:
Here's how many Republican Senators voted to raise the debt ceiling each time it came up for a vote since 1997.
1997: 55
2002: 31
2003: 50
2004: 50
2006: 51
2007: 26
2008: 34
2008: 33
Then Obama was elected.
2009: 2
2009: 1
2010: 0
Another fun fact: The '03 vote was on the SAME day the senate voted for Bush's $350 billion tax cut.
Much as we'd might like Cape, not sure we can reason with these rodent raisins.
You should turn that into an infographic with the Mitch Mconnell quote: "Our goal is to make Obama a one term president".
Why you gotta confuse the tools with facts man?!
A citation for those stats, in case you want to bludgeon your enemies with it: http://www.opencongress.org/articles/view/1500-Th...
Please to be sending to all major media outlets.
I just posted this to my FB page, so ones of people will know this.
Reality is an obscure concept to the Republiklans. Any one that believes that decreasing income and increasing spending is the way to economic Nirvana, is an incompetent ass.
Moody's? Really? Well, at least their reputab….oh.
“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would sit through such negotiations."
I don't have a penis, but this made me hard.
I don't have a vagina, but I still slid out of my chair.
It kind of funny to watch Speaker Drunky McNicotineStain stand off to the side and watch Eric Cantor play the part of Newt Gingrich this time.
Boehner was around the last time the government was shut down because the Republiklans thought they would play "tough guy" and remembers what happened to them.
"“Cantor rudely interrupted the president three times to advocate for short-term debt ceiling increases while the president was wrapping the meeting. "
There's that teabagger mentality again: it doesn't matter what the other side says, whether it makes sense, whether YOUR side makes sense, whether you have any real power compared to the other side. Just stick your finger in your ear and say your talking points.
Needs more Michele Bachmann. I don't know what you just said, but I came here to talk about jobs. Repeat until other party falls over in dead faint.
Obviously Cantor just needs to scream louder and maybe wave a gun around to show off his Second Amendment Rights.
I only hope Obama walked out with "fuck you and the horse you rode in on." It's really long past time when he should have done this. And fuck Cantor and his whining. Because, what, now all the sudden it's wrong for folks to be walking out of meetings? IOKIYAR.
That's really what he should have done in the first place. A nice "fuck you, get the fuck out of my office" would have nipped this in the bud in what was it, May? How long has this ridiculous theatre been going on now?
After 2.5 hours in a meeting, you kind of have to, because your laptop battery is dead.
Every time I see Cantor's smug little prig prick shitbag face, I want to punch him in the balls. The urge must be unbearable, when you are in his presence for any length of time. Rand Paul does it to me, too. You just have this instant urge to swing him by the feet like a baseball bat face-first into a concrete bridge abutment.
I'll show you my tits if you do either of those things.
Thats some mighty powerful motivation. . . .
To me, the face says….I never got any in high school, and the rest of my life is spent making people just as horny and frustrated as I was.
You just know he is familiar with "the swirly."
I DO like the way you think, Prommie.
You hold him, I'll hit him, then we trade.
No need for that, when you get tired, I'll take over.
Haha, is Prommie gonna have to cut a bitch?
Cantor makes me feel stabby.
How about just beating Rand Paul down with Eric Cantor? Take care of both problems at the same time.
Backpfeifengesicht!
Wake me when Cantor starts crapping out broken teeth.
Reminds me of a (great) Stephen Rea line in The Crying Game:
"Eric, have you ever picked-up your teeth with broken fingers?"
The only positive spin I can see to all of this is that maybe this will be the event that eventually puts the people back in control of this country. And if this isn't it, surely the Bachmann/Palin administration will be! USA!! USA!! USA!!
Did Eric Cantor really get elected? I mean, is it possible that there was some foul-up, and somehow a summer session congressional page found his way into a representative's seat? Because looking back over all my years of observing American politics, I'm having a very, very hard time thinking of any Congressperson who's been as puerile as Cantor.
Did Eric Cantor really get elected?
I'm aware of one challenger who put some grass-roots effort into bringing an alternative to that district, and at least one other independent contender got some press but ultimately not enough support — you'll note the 1st linked article (sorry for all its botched html) indicates this district is a "Republican stronghold" — plus I'll suggest, a dose of "I like things the way they've always been and…well… if he's good enough for the Old Testament's Yah-way he's good'm'enough fer
keeping my southern heritage intactme & my intersts."Whether a less odious personality could have found his way into the fray is debatable. I'm figuring despite the jokes about being a "Young Gun" at a mere 48 he nonetheless presents the appearance of youth and energy, relatively speaking, and in his territory appearances go a long way.
boehner probably got so sick of trying to deal with him that he threw him at obama. SEE?!?!?! SEE WHAT I FUCKING HAVE TO DEAL WITH?!?!?!
Louie Gohmert
Does anyone know how to mount a gun turret on a car? Because when we default and the Mad Max era starts I want to be prepared, also where does one get a boomerang my son is going to need one.
Gun turrets and boomerangs?! All you get are get hobo beans and weird rashes like the rest of us.
Can i at least get Mohawk hairdo? because i can look crazy and no one would care anyway. also hobo beans are delicious if the stuff you add to it that you find lying on the ground is good it makes it spicy!
I've actually been "shot" at by a deathguild car mounted gun turret.

I'm starting to miss Rahm. Turns out maybe he wasn't the DINO after all, Hopey McUnicorn has gone all-out third way Clintonista since Rahm went away.
I am so tired of the Clintons, too. Almost as much as the Bushes.
yea, when Bill sent the formaldehyde trailers to Haiti, all the while saying "I feel your pain" about how he destroyed the local Haitian rice market with US trade deals. Just fuck him.
well for sure, rahm would have won the naked locker room showdown.
Rahm's got his own problems. Seems a bunch of the Chicago corporations have decided to start pitching a bitch about the increase of the corporate taxes in Illinois and are starting to talking about leaving. Sounds like Rahm's basically telling them, see ya, don't let the door hit ya in the ass.
I loathe the Dixie Jew so insanely, I bet he is about 5'5", tiny-dicked and got the snot beaten out of him in High School.
Yeah, I bet he got the snot beaten out of him by girls with scoliosis. Do you get the sense that he spent so much time in the principal's office, tittle tattling, that his mom just automatically threw a couple extra Fig Newton's in his lunch to share?
Prep school. He screams preppie douchebag.
Hey now, some of us who went to prep schools aren't douchebags!
But you gotta admit that it tends to indicate a "bad class background" or aspirations to such.
But they do give good snark!
Hey, some of us were the super smart poor kids who got into prep school on massive scholarships. Cantor, however, smacks of the little weasel who couldn't make the cut, but got in after the school miraculously found enough money in the budget for their new swimming pool.
Same here for the prep school; I also went to a fancy expensive private grade school for free, because my dad was a teacher there. It was a strange experience, as I was the poorest kid in my class, and my family is by no means poor; but everyone else there was rich.
Bet he threw up alot in science class, too.
Ugh. I hate it when I"m right…
Cantor was born in Richmond, Virginia. His father owned a real estate firm and was the state treasurer for Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign.[3] Cantor graduated from the Collegiate School in 1981. He enrolled at George Washington University (GW) in 1981, and as a freshman he worked as an intern for House Republican Tom Bliley of Virginia and was Bliley's driver in the 1982 campaign.[4] Cantor was a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity while at GW and received his Bachelor of Arts in 1985[5] He earned a Juris Doctor degree from William & Mary Law School in 1988, and received a Master of Science degree from Columbia University in 1989.[2]
Cantor worked for over a decade with his family's business doing legal work and real estate development.
Fucking entitled frat boy….get a rope.
Oh, so Cantor sat at the feet of the author of Gramm/Leach/Bliley master who fucked our economy for the next century. that makes sense.
He seems about 5'5" – that's for sure. Little Napoleon ego to go along with his little man syndrome.
I have found that most Jewish men, no matter their physical stature, are pretty well hung. Nice stereotype.
Therefore, it is probably because of his larger-than-average wee-wee (I won't dignify his thing with a proper name) that he's able to have the confidence to be such a big dick.

Actually , my experience has been that short guys are often less tooly douchey than tall assholes who think they rule the earth just because of some 'fortunate' genetics. Cooler, less arrogant and way sexier. IMO of course. Besides there's a load of great musicians who happen to be short, so may I suggest we stick with the fact that Cantor and his cronies are useless huge pieces of shit and stop trying to peg this distinction on perceptions re: height?
Meanwhile, Moody’s announced they are putting the U.S. credit rating “under review…This, from the same people who rate Credit Default Swaps AAA+ I ask you, why are these crooked fucksticks still in business and out of jail?
We're "moving forward".
I was too, but the cop still gave me a ticket for speeding. These dicks just keep on keeping on.
Too big to jail?
Prolly more truth than humor there.
Cause they are doing their job, which is to make the rich richer?
Cause they are white?
All of the above, plus 'cause they are wealthy.
That picture is all wrong. There should be a cock whipping up on a pussy(cat) since Cantor was involved.
Such as…
The only thing good to come out of this is that now I get to imagine ratface Cantor quivering like a mass of jello when Obama got mad at him.
My guess is he peed himself. That's a defensive reaction in this species of weasel.
I don't really follow any of the political stuff on here so I don't know what any of this means.
Sometimes, I wish I didn't know what it all means…
Sometimes ignorance is bliss. But it also results in voting for Republiklans.
As Lawrence O'Donnell said last night, Little Eric and the rest of the GOP might do well to remember what Barry does with hostage takers and terrorists… Has them shot in the head.
Don't forget pirates (YAAARRRRRRR)
With surveyor marks! Don't forget the surveyor marks!
The whole farce that has been the "debate" about raising the debt ceiling is summed up in McConnell's statement that he doesn't want to help Obama get reelected. That's been the GOP strategy from day one (and I mean January 21, 2009): to do anything and everything to ensure Obama fails so he won't get reelected. That it means the country fails is just tough titty. The GOP has elections to win. Fuck America.
That they're seen as the more patriotic America-loving party is just more proof that we're a nation of morons with a complete lack of critical thinking skills. And we've bought into believing that elections are about our team winning, regardless whether they deserve to.
Shit – that's been the strategy since Nov. 5 2008 (or whatever day the election was held)
well that is well put.
"A nation of morons with a complete lack of critical thinking skills."
Or bigots.
Well, neither is mutually exclusive.
But this attitude extends beyond Obama to all Democrats.
They worked hard to earn the title The Party Of No.
OT, but probably worth noting that, sleazy though the organization is in every other aspect, it turns out that Fox News actually did pay taxes after all. David Cay Johnston, who broke the original story, has issued a retraction, apology, and explanation of how he misread NewsCorp's financial reporting: http://blogs.reuters.com/mediafile/2011/07/14/how...
Oh. Well, then, I take back al the nasty shit I've said about Rup…Nah, fuck that.
Put Niedermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit just like you are.
Keep it up, Cantor…
hahahahahahaha!
Why won't they just let him cut Social Security and Medicare and call it a day? GOD REPUBLICANS ARE ASSHOLES.
Cantor is just sad cause Obama wont bend him over a barrel and make him squeal like a pig.
He has a purddy mouth
In My Favorite Year, the character of Benjy Stone observes "Jews know about two things, Chinese food and suffering." Given China's Treasury bond holdings, little Eric is about to get some serious continuing ed.
Nice little government you have here, Mr. Obamer. Be a shame if something happened to it.
I think the Wonkeratteri owe Cantor a big wet sloopy kiss
Without that prick acting out, our man in White's house would have cut trillions out of social services to allow the tax cuts on the 2%ers to expire, which they are going to do anyway if DC continues this non-negotiation process.
Go Eric, stand up for yourself some more, that man dissed you, don't let him get away with that!
Someone needs to remind Obama of a key difference: Ronald Reagan was white.
I guess my only real question is where did this little Cunt(or) get all his power? He is one little cockbite of a Rep. from buttfuck USA who seems to have been given the keys to the kingdom. Last time I checked there were a whole bunch of other representatives not named Cunt(or) who should be splattering his ass against the wall. So all you folks who have GOP reps, get on the fucking phone and start pressuring these dicks to do what is right for the country, not what's right for the Cunt(or).
i have been thinking this exact same thing.
and in general: baggers you belong to a representative government and yours is not the only representative.
Tension just fucks up the sex.
as summer kerfuffle's go, i think i liked death panels better.
Everyone knows Cantor isn't one to inflate or embellish things!
re: alt Tag. Uh, I think C-Span would be the OG of Reality Shows. Unless you count Candid Camera.
I heard the meeting was behind closed doors, but Cantor was in the closet.
This is interesting…
Polls over the last year have consistently found that voters continue to blame Bush more than Obama for the struggling economy. Yet Obama and Democrats have consistently struggled to translate that displeasure with Bush into a vote against GOP candidates.
But that could be changing. While Obama's approval rating on the economy is nothing short of dismal—just 38 percent approve—the Quinnipiac poll finds more Americans trust the president on the issue than the GOP congress, 45 percent to 38 percent. Meanwhile, 48 percent of those surveyed say they will blame the GOP congress if a debt deal isn't approved, compared to 34 percent who say they will blame the Obama administration.
Those aren't great numbers for Republicans who are likely to face just as much political peril as Obama in 2012 if the economy doesn't improve over the next year.
The Quinnipiac poll also finds major support for one of the concessions Obama has called for in the debt deal: 67 percent say any deal on the deficit should also include tax increases on the wealthy and corporations, in addition to spending cuts.
You make me tingle when you get all wonky. . . .
"Even Ronald Reagan would not cease assfucking his horse to get down on all fours to assfuck your vile proposal, you dick-warped twist of lips."
It's funny how Republicans are all pissy about someone walking out of a meeting. If you may recall during the Bush era (shudder), the Repubs used to walk out of hearings AND TAKE THE FUCKING MICROPHONE WITH THEM.
Fuck these people. All of them. Sideways.
Oh hell, Obama's going to make some huge speech, covered breathlessly, and then there will be explosions and panic and terror and rapid clothing changes and crowds with torches, and they'll end up flying McConnell's hail mary pass at 11:35 PM August 1st.
At this point, the market's already fucked. Monday will just tell us how much. If it doesn't tank, we'll know the fix is in, and this is all just masterpiece theatre, as directed by Mel Brooks.
So this is how Chicago Gangster Politics works, is it?
It's like goodfellas, only instead of baseball bats, concrete overshoes and 'lead-typewriters' it's rhetorical Chinese burns and slap fights while wearing oven-mitts.
Cantor is a little bitch.
OK, I have never wanted to fuck Harry Reid…now I do.
http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/07/reid-ch...
The only thing I disagree with about what Harry said is that he thinks McConnell is negotiating in good faith. I can't believe that, seeing as how that bastard has led the party of "NO!" since the 2008 election.
As for fucking Harry Reid well, sweetheart, you're on your own there!
Cantor literally IS a rat-faced bag of lightly salted rat dicks.

Everything the GOP says in a lie.
Pretty much.
Yep. We're all back in High School. I'm taking my gay dog and my bi-sexual monkey to the Prom. We're gonna drink some wine coolers and get each other pregnant. Then we're gonna rent a bus and drive alllllll over America, spitting out the window on people.
As a Jew from Virginia, I would like to apologize for Eric Cantor. In my defense, I'm not from Richmond, which is full of giant assholes of several religions.
Oh, and Eric? A meeting with the president is over when HE decides it's over. You don't get to whine about that. Personally I'm glad if Obama really did storm out. He shouldn't have to give this kind of time commitment to this issue anyway. It's Congress's goddamn job.
Cantor's probably under sedation right now, after suffering flashbacks from seeing Obama's "we got him" face in person.
Hey it only took 2 years for the republican's to finally get under Obama's skin with thier juvenile bullshite. Go Mr. President. I'd have had the Secret Service put the Tea Baggers in stocks on day two of this nonsense.
"Eric, don't call my bluff" = why yes, Eric, this thing IS loaded.
Mmm! Drama!
Flip a coin -heads for a Constitutional crisis, tails for a debt-default meltdown … & if it lands on it's edge, EVERYONE GETS A NEW CAR!
Didn't the Reps always claim to be the part of the grown-ups? Where'd they all go?
I love how Pelosi explained the event. She said basically that the president got up and left because that's how meetings with presidents end. lol She made it clear what most of us already know: when you're at a White House meeting, the meeting is over when the president decides it's over. It's really just that simple. When Pelosi was describing this she kind of had a "I can't believe I'm having to fucking explain this to you" look on her face.
BTW, not sure if Kirsten meant her post to read this way, but it sort of reads as if she's doing the "both sides are guilty" thing they do inside the Beltway. Let's be crystal clear about something, Obama is totally within his rights to physically beat the ever living shit out of whichever Republican he wants to given that he's entertained this illegitimate and foolish "debate" for so long.
That these new Republicans have taken a rather routine and mundane matter (raising our debt limit) to push their extreme agenda should tell everyone how much within his right Obama is if he totally takes a 2×4 to the entire Republican caucus' head.
Huh?
It involves a small trailer. It'd take too long to explain.
Look for the post on the RV with the insane signs from earlier this week.
