Title: Resigning House Leader Cantor Reflects On All The Accomplishments He Thwarted
Post by: 240 is Back on July 17, 2014, 08:45:30 PM
WASHINGTON—Looking back on his 13-year tenure in the House of Representatives with reverence, resigning House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) reflected on the long list of accomplishments he had thwarted during his time in office, sources confirmed Thursday.

“From obstructing a jobs bill to put Americans back to work in 2011, to derailing gun control measures any time they reached my desk, I feel blessed to have had such an incredible run of preventing productive policies, and even a few pieces of landmark legislation, from ever passing,” said Cantor, explaining that as a young man, he “never would have dreamed” that some day he would be in a position to hinder the entire American lawmaking process and completely neuter dozens of bills.

“Of course, I’m disappointed because I thought I had many more years of impeding accomplishments ahead of me, and I’ll be the first to admit that I never quite managed to stall environmental policies as much as I would have liked. But at the end of the day, I’m very proud of how I helped Congress accomplish so little during my time in office.”

 Cantor added that he took solace that his legacy of hampering federal policy was secure, and trusted that “many, many more” in his party would be inspired to follow in his footsteps.

Still more than Obama, Pelosi, Clinton, Reid and Co. And I don't even like Cantor.

Coach, I think I'm beginning to understand why you uncritically lap up the propaganda from Fox News.

The article is satire from The Onion:  http://www.theonion.com/articles/resigning-house-leader-cantor-reflects-on-all-the,36268/ (http://www.theonion.com/articles/resigning-house-leader-cantor-reflects-on-all-the,36268/)

If you read this article and had no inkling that it was fake, this should tell you something.
