Regarding tonight's defeat of Cantor, who will not be missed,
InstaPundit quotes and comments thus:
He was also free of rancor toward Cantor, whom he judged a good man in a way that appeared authentic. This impressed me even more. Did we have an actual citizen politician here – and, incredibly, an intelligent one? Skeptical old me began to think of Frank Capra movies. Brat even had the diffident, bespectacled look of Jimmy Stewart.
Well, Stewart was actually kind of a tough guy. We’ll see.
Kind of?
Maybe the professor treated Cantor as a human should treat a rabid dog, not with venom or rancor, but with calm rational control.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I've noticed that there are a lot of Erics around. Eric Shinseki. Eric Holder. It's like Eric the Red thought the Red was for the Cause.
I wrote before at VC and elsewhere, that the Republican party needs a purge. While Demoncrats are easy to demonize these days, that little to do list hasn't changed.
ReplyDeleteBoehner's going to miss him! He'd been making noises about stepping down as Speaker this fall, with Cantor lined up to take his place. Now what, Mr. Boehner?
ReplyDeleteWell obviously that isn't happening now. Interesting times.
