Punchak’s comments about Cantor made me curious so I went hunting for the video.
I agree with her. Cantor seems insincere and disingenuous. I like his wife. I feel good knowing that she is in charge of the state nest egg.
The voice bellowing rudely in the background is Cantor’s press secretary Brad Dayspring yelling “That just isn’t true! And I don’t want to let that stand!”
The ghost of Ronald Reagan quickly appeared to make sure Stahl’s honor was defended and that she was telling the truth. Dayspring got the AH award of the week for that intrusion. Talk about wiping out any good Canot managed to do with his Leslie Stahl interview in less than ten seconds.
So is Cantor showing a kinder, gentler face? I haven’t seen it.
I think Cantor made his position clear – My Way or the Highway. There is no compromising with him.
If we could buy Cantor for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth, we could all retire and never work again–just like Cantor. As he sucks on the pubic teat, he stabs her in the back. Yet, his constituents worship at his clay feet.
Great letter to the Editor in yesterday’s USA Today, headlined
“For Cantor, a failed attempt at appearing more human”.
Lesley Stahl is, IMHO, one of the best and toughest interviewers on TV. I liked it when she pressed Cantor on explaining the difference between “cooperate” and “compromise”. Gave him a little trouble there.
