It was a great fight. No punches were landed, nor were any thrown.

The headline:

Cantor, Obama let sparks fly

The setup:

House Republican Whip Eric Cantor returned from spring break determined to shed the “Dr. No” tag Democrats have hung around his neck — only to find himself in a face-to-face argument with the president over who started this year’s rift with the House GOP.

The plot thickens:

But headed for a meeting with the president at the White House Thursday, Cantor and other House Republican leaders couldn’t resist picking at the scab…

That’s what started the face-to-face bickering with the president.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

The brief exchange was friendly and respectful, both sides said afterward.

This is why people don’t pay attention to politics. Even the really good fights are boring.

Via Memeorandum.
