Um, you're not in charge yet. (aka Eric Cantor is a dick.)

I gotta say it. I'm sorry. It has to be said. I'm not the first to say it, I'm sure. I know I won't be the last. But, here it is... Eric Cantor is a dick. There it is. I feel better, don't you.

Seriously though, where does this guy get off? When he's not telling President Obama what he needs to do to get Republican votes on the extension of the Bush tax cuts, he's telling Democrats who the minority leader should be. Hey, Eric, we don't care.

A little explanation of why we don't care, Eric. It's not because you are a douche. That may be true, but we are accustomed to the Republicans trotting out guys like you every few years. It's not even because we're rude. I am, but I actually have a reason this time.

Here's the thing, Eric... You are not in charge!!!! You will not be in the majority until January. Do you know when the tax cuts are set to expire? January 1, 2011. Do you know what that means? That means the Democratic majority is still in charge. They don't need to ask your thoughts. They don't need your vote. As a matter of fact, I'm wiling to be still Speaker Nancy Pelosi is less likely to ask what you think with your saying "This is a woman who... puts ideology first" while saying she shouldn't run for minority leader. Eric, if you're reading this, click here. It may help.

On to the Democratic leadership battle. Let me ask you something, Eric... Why do you think we should even consider what you think? Seriously, what if I said to you that maybe the next Speaker shouldn't have a history of handing out tobacco lobbyist checks on the House floor. Would you care? Of course not. You guys get to pick your leader. Good for you.

I'm just saying, we might be looking different things in a leader than you. And that's ok. Just keep believing that what the American people really want is a guy who buys votes on the House floor to be the Speaker and we'll got with who we go with. We'll see you in two years, dick.

If I tell you that I think Drogba should be leader of this blog, does that make me a dick?

Drogba would like to thank you for your support, but he isn't near enough of a drunk to run this blog how it should be run.

Clay, that's not what makes you a dick.
