Short diary--apologies--just got this in from Reuters. Guess Eric Cantor is upping the ante on the Republican's eternal petulance:
House Republicans challenge Senate Democrats
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House of Representatives Republican leader Eric Cantor Thursday challenged the Democratic-led Senate to accept a House-passed bill raising the debt limit or suffer the consequences of default.

"Harry Reid has three different options," Cantor said, "One is to suffer the economic consequences of default, which all of us hope he doesn't choose. Two is to bring up the bill we sent prior ... or to accept the compromise bill that we are sending over today...," Cantor added.
Srsly, can these guys possibly be BIGGER assholes??
