Is this the rankest form of hypocrisy or an acknowledgment that he went too far and is responsible for our credit downgrade? Eric Cantor sent out a memo to his caucus that warns them not to resort to brinksmanship in the appropriations process (which is now operating as part of an agreed-upon deal). The memo also says that businesses are sitting on cash that could be invested because of all the chaos in Washington. I mean, it’s his responsibility to make sure his team keeps its word on the appropriation levels, so I can see why he’s trying to talk some sense to his caucus. But it sure is rich for him to walk out of the talks and undercut any grand bargain, and then say that brinksmanship is screwing up the economy. No shit, Sherlock.
