1. Didn't get a seat buddy?

3. Supposedly

Sweet Nancy P. turned him down in order to sit with her friend from MD. :-)

7. Her friend Roscoe Bartlett, most conservative MD member,

2d oldest, served since '93, my district, sorry to say.

2. That will make things interesting

If it is ONLY Cantor, perhaps he did have a family emergency.

4. He's just sulking because Nancy Pelosi is going with someone else.

Kind of like if the person you wanted to ask to the homecoming dance already has another date, so you sit at home and watch TV and pout.

5. Guess he didn't want to go stag nt

6. What... no "eye-rolling and scoffing?"

[DCKit]

8. Somebody probably broke a window in some random office building somewhere in his district.

It's clearly a personal threat to Cantor, so he's gone into witless protection.

9. Yeah, that "new civility" really lasted a long time.
