GOP acting like 'schoolyard bullies,' Dem congresswoman complains

"Those who can‘t, do," MSNBC's Keith Olbermann intoned Tuesday night. "Those who are Cantor, do ambushes."

Politico's Patrick O'Connor reports about a "team of Republican members that House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has put together to create embarrassing, YouTube-worthy moments for vulnerable Democratic freshmen."

"Cantor’s floor staff has created a photo album to help identify the 42 most vulnerable Democrats," O'Connor adds. "The aides send daily e-mails to the members of the attack team and alert lawmakers when these targeted members are speaking on the floor. They even draft quick scripts to help focus the questioning.

"O'Connor notes that "Ohio Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy had a particularly rough go of it the other day." LinkHere
