Cantor causes Reid to throw tantrum

If you have not done so already, I insist you go to Fox News’ home page and look at the picture they have up of Harry Reid.

He looks like a complete jackass, when he’s being bitchy.

CNN had a great one of Boehner up earlier, with his face in an upside-down-frown. The guy looked like a toad.

Good work Cantory, in forcing these clowns to ride their bikes at the brick wall one last time. Hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite you in the ass.

Eric Cantor’s simmering insistence on avoiding tax hikes has boiled to a political tempest in Washington’s debt negotiations, infuriating Democrats who are now labeling the majority leader as “childish” and forcing Republicans to insist there’s no rift between House Speaker John Boehner and his top deputy.

Cantor’s steadfast refusal to raise taxes as part of a deal to increase the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt limit has earned him praise from the Tea Party wing of his own party, but the scorn of Democrats, who are demanding the No. 2 House Republican be booted from negotiations.

“Eric Cantor has shown that he shouldn’t even be at the table and Republicans agree he shouldn’t be at the table,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the chamber’s floor Thursday.

“Boehner needs to rein him in, and let the grown-ups get to work,” added a House Democratic source who called Cantor “juvenile.”

Senate Democrats later appeared alongside Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to underscore the urgency of the situation, while voicing their own frustrations with Cantor.
