Tech savvy Republican donors rolled their eyes last month when Rep. Eric Cantor, the House Minority Whip, tried to demonstrate his tech savvy.Next thing you know, Cantor's going to be talking about a "series of tubes" and "big trucks." Eric Cantor - the next Ted Stevens? :)
Cantor was addressing more than 100 of the Republican National Committee's top donors over dinner at the party's spring major donor gathering at The Breakers in Palm Beach February 21.

"Cantor says, 'We understand these things: we need to be on social networking sites – like Facebook, and YouTube, and LinkedUp,'" the donor said.
The professional networking site is called LinkedIn, and Cantor's words prompted some hilarity among the party's younger donors.
"We’re talking about getting tech right and the minority whip doesn’t even know the name of the goddamn website?" groused the donor. "At least John McCain was honest."
Cantor: "LinkedUp?" "LinkedIn?" "LinkedDuh?"
