Anyway, it's great to know that Eric Cantor is following in the great Newt-ster's footsteps, leading his own caucus in total opposition to Barack Obama's crucial economic recovery package for our nation at a time of growing hardship. Verrry impressive. So, with all that in mind, perhaps it isn't just a Freudian slip when Eric Cantor says that he "talk[s] to Newt on a regular basis because he was in the position that we are in: in the extreme minority." Yep, Eric Cantor called his caucus the EXTREME minority, although I'm sure - absolutely positively sure - he didn't mean "extreme" in the dictionary definition ("Extending far beyond the norm" or "Of the greatest severity; drastic"). And I'm definitely sure he didn't mean "extremist," as in "One who advocates or resorts to measures beyond the norm, especially in politics." No, that certainly wouldn't be Eric Cantor and his merry band of conservative ideologues in the House. And I'm sure that Eric Cantor won't continue meeting Barack Obama's open, extended hand with a clenched fist forever. He's not that stupid and he's not that crazy, is he? Hmmmmmmm.
