Eric Cantor (R- Epic Fail)



See above (NSFW) Via Ben, with all relevant updates-

Eric Cantor's gonzo response to an attack from the pro-stimulus Americans United for Change and AFSCME -- his spokesman circulated a profanity-filled video attacking the union -- drew a sharp response from the unamused, Obama-backing group.

"Eric Cantor from Virginia would spread profanity all over the Internet?" asked AUC president Brad Woodhouse in an email. "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."

ALSO: A spokesman for AFSCME president Gerald McEntee emails over his statement: “Eric Cantor may think the greatest economic crisis in seventy years is a joke, but we don’t. He should talk to the people in Virginia who are losing their jobs, health care and homes.”

ALSO: Statement of AFL-CIO President John Sweeney piles on: "During these tough economic times the last thing hard working Americans need is to be ridiculed by a member of the Republican leadership. Rep. Cantor should apologize for insulting America's workers with this profane video."

UPDATE- Mmmm, those words sure are tasty now, aren't they Eric?
