60 Minutes interviews Eric Cantor

MoonHowler

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.

 

 

Two Virginia Jews Talking: Eric and Jon

And who might they be?  Why Rep. Eric Cantor and his buddy from William and Mary, Jon Stewart.  Both men are 47, both are graduates of William and Mary and both are Jews. 

Jon leans left and Eric Cantor is leaning even more right than he used to.  They discuss the upcoming election and the differences between Democrats and Republicans.  Rep. Cantor has a new book, Young Guns.  They even spend a little time there.   

Think there is common ground?  You will be surprised.   (The title is from Jon Stewart’s words, not mine.)

There are three videos.  1 was shown during the show and the remaining 2 after hours.  Totally fun and I think both men had fun.  Cantor is the Republican whip in the House of Representatives.
