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?

At least with a porn star, there would be unequivocal evidence , as to who was benefiting on the "back end".

pa dum, bum! (rimshot)

[brandnewstuff]

Yes the RNC will kill each other!!!!!

[TremoluxMan]

With a porn star, they at least don't pretend to be anything other than what they are.

Although I think he'd be a little too classy to have done it, I hope it was Chris Shay, from my home state of Connecticut. I'm not sure he knows why he was a Republican, but as such, he was among the more reasonable ones with both feet in reality. He got punked by his own party.

This could not be true. Porn stars have much more honesty and character than cantor.

[ThinkCreeps]

Absolutely, the anonymous source can expect a class action suit for defamation from disgruntled porn stars everywhere

I would agree, Cantor is an insult.

[Rangergirl]

They are turning on themselves left and right... Eric Cantor can't even stand up to the head of the Repub party..Rush.................It's not a listening tour you know...

[Candyx]
