Thanks, Monica

Within a few short weeks, Eric Cantor is gone and Monica Lewinsky is back. Fucking amazing.

With last night's primary news accounted for in full, the biggest shock is easily the disposal of Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Ah, yes, Mr. Cantor has come and gone, a victim of his own hubris, greed and insanity. His plan was to pump up the troops – these new troops – and lead them in an overthrow. The only problem was that not even Cantor was crazy enough for this new bunch and they ended up overthrowing the wrong guy; Eric Cantor himself, rather than the guy he'd originally set his sights on – President Barrack Obama.

So Eric Cantor is gone. And Monica Lewinsky is back; on the cover of the new Vanity Fair, inside of which, she is asking to be forgiven so that she might start over – 15 year later. Uh-huh. Just think what she gave us …

Because Monica actually thought she was going to be moving into the White House, poor Al Gore had the specter of herself and Bill and a fouled blue dress and a smelly cigar hanging over him. There could have been hope, but unfortunately, Gore himself didn't have the balls or guts to deal with it properly.

So thank you, Monica, for giving us George W. Bush. And Dick Cheney. And 9/11. And two unnecessary wars.
