Angry Former GOP Congressman Compares Cantor To Porn Star

Hey, kids! Remember how a couple weeks ago, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor was totally out of ideas, so he formed a new club with Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush called the National Council for a New America, and then went on a "listening tour" where the first and only stop was a restaurant called "Pie-Tanza" that wasn't even outside the Beltway? And there, they snacked on pizza and listened to each other say stuff that was basically indistinguishable from the stuff they had been saying all along, except this time, it was at a pizza place? Yeah. Those were good times. Like the movie Adventureland, only instead of sexy, disaffected college kids with sexy and disaffected hijinks at an amusement park, you have sad middle-aged men with sad middle-aged talking points at a pizza place.

Anyway, according to the American Spectator, not even the launch of this ambitious new experiment in soggy, third-rate rebranding succeeded in making Eric Cantor happy.

Cantor was most stung after last week's launch of what he termed a national "listening tour," when Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress, announced at the same time her own "listening tour" as she mulls a run for the Senate in Louisiana.

"Apparently it's true: great minds do think alike," quipped a former colleague of Cantor who lost his seat last election cycle, he believes, for supporting the Bush bank bailout plan at Cantor's request.

So there you have it, Eric Cantor apparently has a sad because people would much rather listen to pornstars! Of course, there's still the mystery of the identity of Cantor's snarky former colleague! Of the fourteen Republicans who lost election last year, there were only four who voted for the bailout bill: Chris Shays of Connecticut, Joe Knollenberg of Michigan, Jon Porter of Nevada, and Randy Kuhl of New York. Care to guess?

Perhaps they should find a spokesman who doesn't sound like Kenneth, because they all seem to--Cantor has the most irritating voice and demeanor I've seen from a GOP politician in a while.

[CabaretArtist]

Cantor hasn't got enough ideas to be a porn star. He'd have to cum up with a few new tricks, so to speak.

[veritasor]

porn stars can be politicians; so can politicians be porn stars.

[Sparty1]

He'd do a bang up job in Bareback Mountain. He seems like a really good bottom.

[Petey131]

Ouch!

[jarjarbush]

Wasn't Cantor in "Schlindler's Fist"?

[GrowBag]

Cantor would be in thegay porn.

[Freesia2]

That little pizza party thing just didn't play. Like tea parties.

What's next? Slumber parties?.

Speaking of which, I'm for the porn star. At least she's honest about who she is and what she's been selling. I can respect that. She's an adult. She owns what she does for a living. Unlike the GOP pizza delivery boys.

[joetherealist]

And she's got lots of transferable experience already. Congress is full of nothing but hoors anyway, she would fit right in.

[memphisdem]

Cantor does not have the ethics to work in porn...and come on...he would never be a star...doesn't have the co jo ne s to stand up to boss R u s h.

[jjgg5]

Mr. Cantor is too insecure and timid to be a porn star.

[YoungDemocratsUSA]

LOL

[rabiddog6708]

Porn would a honest work for Cantor. He likes to $crew people and give them no pleasure while doing it, at least Stormy Daniels will make you feel good when it is happening.

[Tim Hoetons]

for you libz that would be a great honor.

[albanianmomforobama]

Better a porn star than a d!ck head!

[kdogg]

Being compared to a pornstar? Well I have more respect for pornstars then I do for most politicians (especially republicans). At least the pornstars work for a living.

[kdogg]

Anytime I see a comment where I am referred to as "libz" or a "librul" I have to stop and appreciate the sheer stupidity of someone who try and insult me by by mis-spelling what I am.

[larry278]

We progressives, aka liberals, are restrained & modest. Though BHO is now POTUS, we don't call ourselves liberules. But then Pres Obama can't be called a radical progressive. We still are wandering in the desert. We'll have to find the Promised Land, the Land of Milk, Honey & Large Oceans of Oil on our own. Pres Obama isn't Moses. No, he isn't Judas either.

[koalaholik]

As Stormy pointed out: one of the differences between her and Vitter is that what she does is legal and Vitter's association with the Wash DC Madame was not. So who has the moral advantage here?

[Petey131]

That picture? Is that..is that....no it can't be....

[Budokan]

Well, be fair, who wouldn't rather listen to a porn star than the claptrap that passes for ideas from a Repubilkan?

[SpeedRoach]

So there is a po.rn star running as a republican?? Well, there goes the 18-26 male vote... poof!!

[hilary916]

In Louisiana of all places.

[truthartbeauty]

He'll be whatever Rush tells him to be!

[memphisdem]

Good point!...lol

[DiogenesII]

cantor to limburger "well you can be my dog and i'll be your tree and you can pee on me"

[urnumbersix]

I assume Stormy would run as a Democrat - Republicans are too hypocritical to admit they are w#ores!

I vote for Stormy! Yay!

[jerrypl]

Porn star? I believe Cantor is just a pizza delivery boy for the gluttonous Repugnicons.
