Cantor's bonehead ad blitz leads to his embarrassment.

Three amigos: Huey, Duey, and Louie.

Cantor's Office Responds: Video Depicting AFSCME Members As Goons — Updated below with call on Cantor to apologize. — This isn't going to make the big unions very happy. GOP House leader Eric Cantor's office has come up with an intriguing response to the AFSCME ad bllitz targeting GOP leaders …
Update: Brad Woodhouse, the head of Americans United for Change, which is also funding the initial ad hitting the GOP leadership, sends over a statement demanding that Cantor apologize.
This is a childish and disgusting response to one of the most serious crises facing America in our lifetimes. This spoof of AFSCME has been floating around on YouTube for years — but its use in this context shows how completely and utterly out of touch with the current economic crisis and the lives of Americans Eric Cantor and the GOP leadership really is. Cantor should apologize.
Update II: Now AFSCME chief Gerald McEntee is blasting Cantor, too.
Update III: And now AFL-CIO president John Sweeney is hitting Cantor and demanding an apology.
Update IV: Cantor’s spokesperson apologizes for goon vid.

Eric Cantor plays like he's this well spoken moral Jewish man who is the true example of Christian Values. Well the real Eric Cantor came out as a foul mouth liar. McCain lost more then an election he lost his wife, respect and frienids. Even the Arizona Cardinals didn't want him at the Super Bowl.
Bone Boy what can I say he's hosed. Now he will take what he can get before he gets kicked out. I will love to see what Boner looks like without a tan. Is he really white?
