You don't have to be a Koch snorter any more, Eric. Kick the Koch habit.

I think he will be spiteful, because you can just see it in his previous actions and the way he takes it out on those who oppose him. He can't resist. He's got bitterness in his face every time he is challenged and he just got knocked out of the game.

(653 posts)According to Joan Walsh at Salon.com, Cantor's loss "couldnt happen to a more deserving guy. Cantor is another conscience-free Republican leader who courted the Tea Party when it seemed politically advantageous and then tried to run from it when it was clear it was going to bite him in the ass." He's a piss-poor runner, ain't he? Joan really knows how to turn a phrase.
