Cantor Booed in Home District

Eric Cantor was booed in his home district this morning as party activists rejected his choice to lead Virginia’s 7th Congressional District Republican Committee in favor of a Tea Partier. Cantor was left sputtering:

“It is easy to sit in the rarified environs of academia, in the ivory towers of a college campus with no accountability and no consequence. When you throw stones,” Cantor said, “you throw stones at all of us who are working every day to make a difference.”

He was referring to his primary opponent, David Brat, who is a professor of economics at Randolph-Macon College. But, really, there isn't anything "academic" about the opposition to Cantor within his own party.
