that's the real issue here. Cantor knows full well he is full of shit, but he also knows the GOP base is dumber than dirt and will believe any ridiculous crap he spews as long as he blames the 'democrat party'

How many of the GOPtards collecting farm subsidies during their day jobs voted in favor? AOTK is my guess. Let's stop paying these welfare-mers (who bleat "the government is too damn big" when the cameras are rolling), and see if the farm bill passes with several billion dollars of lard sliced out of it.

I am wearing my Wonkette shirt today. Nothing bad can happen to me.

This is the ONLY REASON I am going to ignore your inexcusable attack on the color Orange, Mr. DDM. THE ONLY REASON.

Just because the man(?) has an orange hue is no reason to libel an entire color of beings.

They had to take care of that whole "abortion is wrong because fetuses like to rub one out every so often" thing first.

The whole teabagger contingent was - as usual - crying and holding their breath and kicking and screaming because they weren't getting their way. The morons who voted these assholes into office can (and probably do) take pride in their work.

If the elctorate is paying attention, the 2014 elections ought to be interesting.

Are they trying to tell us that Nancy Pelosi realized that cutting food stamps was a really fucked-up thing to do, especially if you're supposed to be the party that occasionally stands up for the poors? Because that would be nice. (Also, I am strangely reassured by the fact that spell-check questions "Pelosi", but is fine with "fucked-up".)

“But I’ll tell you, it’s just disappointing that we have seen now the Democrats putting partisanship over progress.”

So, basically, the GOP is totally lacking in self-awareness, right? Holy fuck they are a stupid lot.

It doesn't matter - they've got the narrative out there that the evil Pelosi cabal stabbed Boehner in the back. The fact that his own caucus kneecapped him at the same time will go down the memory hole, or be spun as "finger-pointing by irresponsible progressives".

Who is more useless in the House GOP than sniveling Eric Cantor?
