ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE At Cantor HQ After Concession

[Segami]

As if Virginia politics weren't bizarre enough, they got even weirder after Eric Cantor conceded the primary to virtual unknown Kochhead Dave Brat.


Washington Post:

Cantor addressed his supporters for about four minutes at a suburban Richmond hotel ballroom, then boarded an SUV without taking questions from reporters scurrying after him.

Then it got really rambunctious. In the room of downcast Cantor allies, a new energy suddenly erupted — but not the kind they wanted on election night. A group of immigration activists stormed the ballroom, screaming and waving a flag. “What do we want? Immigration reform! When do we want it? Now!”

A few Cantor supporters tried to block the protesters’ entrance into the ballroom, and pushing and shoving ensued. And before they reached the microphone, one Cantor supporter threw his glass of wine at a female protester. She swore at him in return.

A hotel employee took the microphone Cantor had used and told the protesters in Spanish that the police were on their way.

1. A thing of beauty...and irony.

[tomm2thumbs]

5. like a scene out of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' or something

the guy strangling the girl and the eyeglasses and the buffet plate and the shoving and the flag... too delicious

[JimDandy]

36. I'll bet that Cantor supporter will soon regret choking that woman.

[Uncle Joe]

2. I will wager $10 against a donut,

that Cantor becomes a lobbyist.

Thanks for the thread, Segami.

9. Either a lobbyist or

I could also see him ending up as a talking head on FNC. That's sort of the retirement home for wingnuts.

Grabbing themselves some of that sweet, sweet wingnut welfare.

[SunSeeker]

12. Nah, not Fox. Even wingnuts can't stand to listen to that nasal whine.

As evidenced by tonight's vote.

He probably already has a lobbying gig lined up. His job description won't change much.

[Eleanors38]

31. I agree. He's become the symbol of standard-issue RW extremism.

And a loser at that. Fox probably won't chance being labeled TEAPINO.

[bvf]

19. A position as a lobbyist would be a lot more secure these days.

But why not sweep up the few additional wingnuts with a short stint on Fox to bolster the
book while you consider your options?

(I may be dating myself here, but is Regnery still a thing?)

And the criminals move on, but not out of our lives . . .

[Berlin Expat]

22. Yeah, do a

one-year contract stint on FNC for a couple of million or so, then move on to a RW think-tank or a lobbying firm.

Maybe write a book, like you said....he'd probably get a nice six or seven figure advance.

Even though Cantor's out, he's still fairly young for a politco, and he may turn up elsewhere on the political scene, but I'd say settling for a career as a lobbyist is always a safe bet.

In any event, good riddance.

[MADem]

15. Or a vice presidential candidate....! nt

Gracias Segami~ for Cantor..

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. Cantor's aids should be asking the immigration folks where they can find a job.

[bvf]

18. All I can say is, "Yay!" <eom>

[tomm2thumbs]

20. kicked

Cantor to the curb

[PeaceNikki]

26. ah, the sweet taste

[Wabbajack_]

27. I'll have a gin and tears, barkeep

[randome]

28. Damn. I misread that at first. I thought you said 'gun and tears'.

Not a good combination but in keeping with the Conservative mindset.

[Ilsa]

37. So who is the asshole who stripped that man's eyeglasses

Right off his face and had that woman in a choke hold? I hope he was dished something in the parking lot.

[Catherine Vincent]

38. ...

The guy choking that lady and who knocked the other guy's glasses off should have been arrested.
