Eric Cantor celebrates early:
(Hat tip: MyDD.) My own impression of Eric Cantor was shaped by an event during the campaign. Here is how he spun an Obama interview with Goldblog:
“It is truly disappointing that Senator Obama called Israel a ‘constant wound,’ ‘constant sore,’ and that it ‘infect[s] all of our foreign policy.’ These sorts of words and characterizations are the words of a politician with a deep misunderstanding of the Middle East and an innate distrust of Israel."
Any review of the interview reveals this to be a cynical, shameless lie.
