leave Eric Cantor alone

EverWatcher: +1, I like it. WTF is a buttoned-up dude like Cantor doing at a Britney concert?

Hanging out in the men's room?

/Low hanging fruit.

So he's supposed to be working 24/7? I guess you must really hate Dubya for taking over 2 years of vacation time during his presidency.

/Britney? REALLY?

GAT_00: So he's supposed to be working 24/7?

I seem to remember a lot of people complaining that Obama went to a Wizards game and DRANK BEER!!1!

Better he's watching Britney than gumming up Obama's plans. By all means mister Cantor, indulge your love of shiatty pop music.

So?

Cantor?

The Republican House whip who has already solved his party's and the nation's problems with "Just Say No"? His work is done.

He was taking his daughter to see, right? ...RIGHT?

Wait, wait, wait.. wait... wait, wait. Wait. Britney SPEARS?! She still has CONCERTS?! And people go to them?

Forget the economy, somebody needs to do something about this!

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under...

Well, this certainly proves that he is not a closeted homosexual Republican.

/has the cell phone video of him dancing been posted to youtube yet?

Seriously, where else are you going to get a better first hand survey of toxic assets than a Britney Spears show?

First Bobby Jindal, now Eric Cantor.
Another "future of the Republican Party" golden boy bites the dust.

You guys are beyond farked.

/Britney? REALLY?

Yes.

Crane technique

"A Cantor staffer told Wonkette: "After attending the NRCC dinner, Eric, like President Obama has been known to do, enjoyed a night at the Verizon Center. It was a bipartisan night, as Eric was joined by Senator Landrieu and other Democrats."

Ah, Senator Landrieu was not there. "

You have to love this kind of thing from the "moral majority" types. Get caught doing something embarrassing? Act self righteous and make up some lies about the Dems.

In defense of Eric Cantor, he's one of the few Republicans bringing real ideas to the table. His revenue-neutral payroll tax cut in exchange for a carbon tax is actually quite strong. Everyone gets what they want and, more importantly, can sell.

/Tax less of what you want more of (income) and tax more of what you want less of (carbon)

Oh yay, greenlight!

Fark poll. Are the boys (or girls) lining up to if-you-seek Eric Cantor?

/the Britney song count in the headline is 7, for those of you who aren't devoted to her pop trashlarity, like me and E.C.

The era of the douchebag is dead, Eric. Goodnight, douchebag.

bobbette: /the Britney song count in the headline is 7, for those of you who aren't devoted to her pop trashlarity, like me and E.C.

AHHHHHh.... I missed that entirely. I feel better knowing I missed that.

Thank you, I'm secure in my hipsterness again.

What is this proposal? Rebates?

This is stupid, and is not newsworthy. I don't give a damn what these people do on their private time if it is legal, ethically sound, and not contradictory with their policies.

Okay, maybe in this case there is a breach of taste that can be morally reprehensible, but you get the idea.

unyon: In defense of Eric Cantor, he's one of the few Republicans bringing real ideas to the table.

As a matter of history, Republican ideas are lousy ideas.

I don't care how smart they're purported to be; anyone who has to genuflect before Grover Norquist and Rush Limbaugh and Randtards and the Religious Right haven't exactly thought things through.

Trashy pop is cool again as long as it's slightly undergroundized. Layer on one remix by an indie band, or a DJ who nobody has heard of (or Mstrkrft/Girl Talk) and it magically becomes both listenable and respectable.

He should be drinking energy drinks and snorting Meth to be up 24/7, always working on a solution, every moment he waits is another moment the country is rolling towards socialiswarblegarble...

At least we know the kind of person who goes to a Britney Spears concert now.

Stay classy G.O.P.

Yeah, skipping a pointless press conference is a career killer.

Nina_Hartley's_Ass: Well, this certainly proves that he is not a closeted homosexual Republican.

/has the cell phone video of him dancing been posted to youtube yet?

As Rachel Maddow said, that won't happen because no one would recognize him anyway. Would you?

onyxia: Yeah, skipping a pointless press conference is a career killer.

I don't care if Mr. Cantor wants to have a night out. I frankly wouldn't care if he went to a bar and got shiat-faced.

But going to a Britney Spears concert? That's a firing offense. It's almost as bad as going to see Celine Dion.

*shudder*

America loves them some jailbait. I bet you feel slightly dirty looking at this don't you.....wait, this is fark.

It's Britney Biatch!

/rem rem remember that one time when... when... her pu**y fell out? That was awesome.

No, being a Republican is a career killer. We're just laughing at his musical tastes as well.

Why would you want to drink human bodily fluids? Ew!

Oops, crazy Eric Cantor was at a Britney concert during the Obama press circus, instead of trying to do something about toxic assets or developing a stronger plan for a chaotic economy

Why would he be doing any of those things? As another Farker said a couple days ago, Republicans can't articulate a position beyond nihilism and blind opposition.

In defense of Cantor, this actually moves him up in my estimation. He's 20 years older than me, middle-aged, in an profession known for being decisively bland. At least now he kind of seems to have a personality. While he should be mocked mercilessly for that personality being dorky, I only wrote a critical-sounding headline so I could work in Toxic and Chaotic references and don't actually think he should be on the clock 24/7 (neither should Obama.)

Aren't you relieved that some Republicans don't actually sit around listening to Republican music, like Ted Nugent, or godawful country-ass anthems about supporting the troops or whatever? Or Jessica Simpson? Ewww.

I will be more impressed, though, if we can unearth anyone in Congress who likes cooler artists. So far, the only musical Congress stories I can recall are this one with Cantor as a closet Britney fan and John McCain's love of ABBA (which is also hilariously awesome.) I will give prizes:
- 1 thumbsup to any Congresstype who likes Radiohead, MGMT, M.I.A., The Clash, Tupac, or Talking Heads
- 1 terrorist fist jab to Buck 65, Goldfrapp, Hüsker Dü, Death From Above 1979, Mstrkrft, Yeah Yeah Yeahs or TV on the Radio fans
- 1 expression of total love to anyone who is a fan of Le Tigre, Peaches, or Dead Kennedys. (Congress has to be THE MOST AWKWARD place to have Dead Kennedys on your iPod.)
- 1 giant kick in the balls for any fans of Nickelback or Creed. It can't get any Wentzer than being a Congressperson and a Nickelback fan simultaneously.

At least he wasn't enjoying a beer.

Oh c'mon man, Obama has Tupac, Biggie and Beyonce in his iPod. Isn't that cool enough for you? Or do you expect it because he's black? :P

/I think Bad Religion on your iPod would be much, much more awkward than the dead kennedys, mostly for subject matter and not just the ironic context (two kennedys, both dead, yes I get it)

Where does it say in the Constitution that politicians can have a personal life? WHERE?!!11!2

Obama isn't in Congress anymore, I hear he got a new job.

I think the Dead Kennedys is still more awkward than Bad Religion, not because of the location, but because of the proximity to the Live Kennedys.

bobbette: I will be more impressed, though, if we can unearth anyone in Congress who likes cooler artists.

Wouldn't it say more if they liked artists who are... y'know... good without being cool?

/Safe bet there's not a single Soilwork fan in either chamber.

I remember a particular session of Congress where a congressman was upset that families of National Guard soldiers were paying out of pocket for bullet proof vest. He suggested that Congress should stay in session til a way to fund this oversight can be found.Congress adjourned 10 min later. Now I think that's bad because something should of been agreed on before Congress adjourned because its only our troops safety we're talking about here. (Fark independent rebuttal goes here)

So what dude when to a concert where he wa drooling over Britney who could symbolize a hot friend of his daughters'. Sometime you need a break from saying no just because but next time go to a Capitals game. Alex Ovechin is a beast plus you'll look manly.

EverWatcher: +1, I like it. WTF is a buttoned-up dude like Cantor doing at a Britney concert?

I understand, in concert, her "..pussy is hangin' out!"

bobbette: Aren't you relieved that some Republicans don't actually sit around listening to Republican music, like Ted Nugent, or godawful country-ass anthems about supporting the troops or whatever? Or Jessica Simpson? Ewww.

I thought Britney Spears was Republican music.

I wonder if anyone in Congress like's Queensryche's "Operation Mindcrime"...

I imagine that few Republicans would appreciate Disturbed, for that matter.

Alphax: I imagine that few Republicans would appreciate Disturbed, for that matter.

Um, the last album was an hourlong blowjob to the military.

Holy shiat, someone went to a concert? Alert the Politico!

plan for a chaotic economy

WTF?

Either he tool a child of his to see it or he's got amazingly shiatty (and juvenile) taste in music...

Finding it hard to give a crap, either way, really...

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he took his daughters, even though they're probably too old.

Nope, he went with some other congress critters. A bipartisan group. Creepy.
