Eric Cantor and the WWII veterans tonight

I watched the Memorial Day concert from the lawn of the White House tonight on television. Eric Cantor was in the audience, front row, and the camera focused on him several times. When the stage was filled with the last remaining living members of the of a company that fought at Normandy, at Omaha Beach (only 90 of 220 of them survived the assault), and everyone was applauding this dozen or so living heroes, the camera panned back to Cantor.

He was clapping. And he surreptitiously looked at his watch. It was noticeable.

Jerk.
