More from the Party of "Adults"

In the latest childish move by a leading GOP operative, Eric Cantor (R-Va) walked away from budget talks led by Vice President Biden today.  That's right.  From the Party that came into Congress in 2010 talking about having an "adult conversation" comes a grown man who walked out of a room when he failed to get all of what he wanted, when he wanted it.  Adult?  Not sure.  A lot of us did that before entering elementary school.

It would be an entirely different matter altogether if Mr. Cantor stormed out of a meeting over a trade dispute or refused to speak to a foreign dictator who had brutalized his own people.  But here the swarthy Virginian stormed out on a team headed by the Vice President of the United States over the budget, an issue which requires cooperation and urgent attention at a time when the country desperately needs a cohesive economic plan.  Seems as though the budget is not all that important to Mr. Cantor.  Maybe getting his way is really his number one priority.
