Eric Cantor’s slick upper lip

Eric Cantor has perfected the strategic sneer.

Mr. Mundane.
And in person, just so unappealing and off-putting. Full of himself. And other stuff.
As a blogger, you would perhaps like to know about his contemptuous attitude towards your ilk, and yet!!! his obsequious and open habits of aping bloggy behaviors (as long as it pads his own bank account). Or, you could just go "whee, a famous guy" and go all fangirl-y.
But IMO you could use your Hat for far nobler purposes.; July 13, 2011 at 4:37 PM
Paul Trotter said...: The best part of this great story was this:"Claiming that there have been “concessions made already” by his side, Cantor was pressed to name some of them. “I don’t want to get into specifics now,” he said.

Leaving a House Republican caucus meeting Tuesday morning, Cantor approached the microphones, flashed the cameras a good-morning sneer and demanded to know “why in the world” Obama wants to increase taxes.

NBC’s Luke Russert asked what “sacred cows” Cantor would be willing to sacrifice. Cantor repeated his denunciation of Obama’s tax policy.

“Where do the Republicans feel pain here, though?” Russert persisted.

After a long and contemptuous day, the majority leader probably feels it most in his upper lip."; July 13, 2011 at 5:00 PM
