So they are putting in their second string?

I’ve seen Cantor on c-span’s Washington Journal.
He’ll look you in the eye, and with that smirk on his face lie to you.

But they have a “deep bench” as is noted in the prior thread. “g”

Better yet, Why did Adam Putnam(aka Howdy Doody) step down from his leadership post? Howdy Doody is around the same age as Cantor I believe and just as wingnutty.

Oh, Ian, I’ve had my eye on Roy Blunt and the Blunt family for 2-3 years. I thought he was gonna go down over the Abramoff stuff, way back when. Sigh.

I made this illustration at that time. Sorry to be image whoring, but I am having a delicious moment… tho not because Cantor may be the new Blunt.

“Can you get the bloodstains out?”

Does Cantor qualify as part of what Marsh Blackburn calls the repub deep bench?

Cantor is the guy that Chris Matthews just flat-out eviscerated, twice, on Hardballs.

dumb as a fuckin’ post.

(just the man for the job, iow)

Oh, and I predict Howie and/or Ken at DWT will have a lot to say about this Cantor thingy. ;)

I would like to say one thing to John McCain,” Letterman said. “Listen, Senator: you don’t show up for me, America doesn’t show up for you.”

Letterman also joked about the Obama transition.

“I think I speak for most Americans when I say, anybody mind if he starts a little early? Would that be a problem?”

Everyone please sign the letter shown on the right. It’s important.

Thanks Ian.

digg

Will I get moderated on the letter too?

Done!

Thanks for the reminder.

I signed that this morning. But Joeliar needs to be put to pasture so he can be his own party all by his self!

wow, lol

What does the Blunt family have to hide? Son, the former Gov of Missouri did not run again. Sleazy father giving up position of power. This is showing a serious problem that they are trying to hide, Roy’s trophy wife I think was a lobbyist.

Done Dugg this fine Post… Thanks to PhilPerspective for opening the DIGG

Cantor will sing his lines in the house. Its part of the refurbished republican branding as outlined by masterminds, Brent Bozo, Grover Bathtub Nerdquist, and Tony In The Closet Perkins.

Not a chance. Need to get HoJo out of these parts.

Everything else I write does. Read my lips.

well, the way I see it, Delay was their first strink. He’s out for throwing games in return for money. Blunt was the second string. So Kantor must be one of the kids who never dreamed of making it off the bench.

You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your mask

but will fold like a cheap suit

he’s not half the little storm trooper Putnam is, do y’all remember when Tweety schooled his deer in the headlights ass about a month back ? had that been Putnam, he’d have just continued on with his screed as if God her own self was whispering in his ear

just now dawned on me – does his stepping down have anything to do with the rather large power shift at home ? or did he simply not want to be pinata boy for the next two years ?

I second that motion

Let’s just call him, Eric “Can’t”

I think the pinata choice. It’s going to be really rough with the Rs at each others throats for quite awhile. They are going to equal a schoolyard full of angry kids.

I always thought Roy Blunt’s surname was a signifier of his intelligence and ability

Eric Can’t should have little trouble stepping into those shoes

I think the time is right for Congress to have a “Connecticut for Lieberman” caucus

just don’t say anything good about Shortride and you will do fine

Roy Blunt was Sammy the Bull to Boehner’s Gotti

and yeah Blub, ‘zactly. the kids on the bench getting a shot. Cantor is Kingston with opposable thumbs

wow. I just had quite a run of comments here.

there must be a new thread.

Off Topic,

Ian, thank you for your terrific piece earlier today on candidates for Treasury. Is there wisdom to asking FDLers to call their reps and Obama and recommend someone like Roubini, Krugman and Stiglitz?

Is there wisdom to narrowing the focus and asking FDLers to unify on NO to Larry Summers?

Can FDL link up with other liberal/progressive sites, Color of Change, Move On, DKos, HuffPo, to champion one candidate?

I don’t know I’m just brainstorming here.

When I look at numbers in the battle ground states I saw third party candidates making a huge difference. The black caucus is suddenly a huge player in many states. In 2010 I could see the liberal/progressive/black caucus vote being determinative in a lot of Democratic primaries.

Thanks for all your great work.

I don’t think so.

But, Didn’t they already throw Hojo outta that caucus…? ;-)

you got it ian. but i don’t know that i would use the word ‘cynicism’.

false bravado then ‘you hurt me’

behavior of a bully. full of fear bully. uses fear to motivate bully.

no more bullies.

and i don’t know that cantor will get the job….where’s boehner on this? i recall cantor getting in the way, and is cantor on board with raising funds?…..hmmm…..

need more info.

Loved the whole comment, but especially this

as if God her own self was whispering in his ear

that’s ok, i was epu’d and talking to myself again in the last one. some of my best stuff, too.

you can also go here
and tell President Elect Obama what you think

BOO!

I am the Dowager Empress of EPU !

was it ever released why blunt/blount actually stepped down?

i am thy hand maiden/understudy oh queen of links.

: )

That’s hilarious, I wrote boo and they deleted it!

did anyone hear about joe the plumber getting a speeding ticket around toledo? but they let him go because the department was afraid of the possible backlash?
was on columbus tv. no link.

must have been late for an interview or a meeting for his new foundation

perks, hard to turn them down.

and since i’ve been gone, didn’t get to post the sermons list for sarah’s church in wasilla.
the current church, not the ‘cast witchcraft out of you ‘ church. this one is worse, it’s supposed to be more middle of the road. as with reverend wright i took on the task to look at every single link..even the bookstore at his website…very in depth bookstore…….at this one, the sermons link was more revealing.or notmay explain why she doesn’t know africa is a continent.

i am you and you are me and….

name that lyric raven.

and also said it for mr. and mrs. boo.

46 to raven
epu’d again

one of my cats doesn’t like the new computer arrangement, in the way. won’t move.

Thank you.

My, Mr. Cantor certainly sets of my “Repressed, self-loathing, closeted HOMOSEXUAL”-dar.

The GOP is a virtual Clown Car for closeted gays.

The knives are out at the RNCC as well. Putnam apparently quit because he failed to hold Florida for the GOP. And I suspect that there will be resignations at the Republican Senatorial Re-Election Committee, too.

Whatever happened to that Cuban-American guy that was given the post of running the party? Did he resign already, too? I thought he came in after the 2006 losses?

If you watch Sibel Edmund’s videos over at Bradblog you will find out.

HaHa! Very funny image.
