This is just, like crazy,
man. Second most powerful Republican in the House stomped in the
primaries? This can't be happening. Must have been a bad hot dog
at the ball game....But how?
Must have been huge
amounts of TEA Party money coming in. Nope, the national groups
spent exactly (lemme double check the numbers). FUCKALL. Not one
shiny penny.
Well then, huge amounts of
out-of -state money must have tilted the playing field. Damn, 0 –
for – 2.
There must have been like
HUGE sacks of money spent, right? Foul tip keeps the batter in the
box. Yes, big bucks. Brat spent $200k. Cantor spent $5.4 m The
winner was outspent 27 to 1. The loser had been assured of a
walkaway landslide. Polls showed him leading by 37 to 45 percentage
points. That's why candidate funding control is so goddam important,
right?
Count's still 0 – and –
2. Pitchout to catch the Rino's runner on first leaning: This was
all an anti-Semitic thing because Joooo. Runner holds, count's now 1
– and – 2.
Fake to hold the lead
Donkey at third. The crowd grows anxious.
Fastball down the middle:
Give the voters what they want! Swing and a miss and you're out.
And it's really that
simple. Cantor gave up his voter base by becoming a D.C, insider.
Realpolitik. Go along to get along. Root for the Redskins and the
Orioles, and not the home team. Try to play long ball and forget
about protecting home plate. There were countless opportunities to
play little ball. Yogi Berra was a master of that – Foul off a
grounder. High tip. Foul out of play. Occasionally knock the hide
off the sucker. But you, Eric, just stood there at the plate and
went down on called strikes, with your bat on your shoulder, hoping
for a compromise with the umpire.
You played in the Big
Leagues. That's enough to get you a job a a coach in the Minors,
maybe. Get a gig doing color commentary. Do some radio ads for used
car dealerships. If you're lucky you might get a beer
distributorship, or schill for Personal Injury ambulance chasers.
And, to tell you the
truth, Brats sell well at ballgames.
