Craziest Republican of the Day: Eric Cantor

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Firedoglake's Blue Texan notes that Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), one of the leaders of the extremist ideological mob that is the House GOP, thinks that his party can win back the House in next year's midterm elections.

Maybe Britney Spears has made him crazier than usual.

There has been some confusion as to Cantor's remarks, as reported by Politico's Glenn Thrush. Did he really say that Democrats are "over-reacting" to the economic crisis? Well, he did, sort of, but maybe not so clearly.

Steve Benen has more.
