Queen Victoria is beyond flawless, rips Virginia republican a new one on NBC.

Madeleine Stowe on why she's campaigning against Eric Cantor
By Sam Go - Fri Jul 13, 2012 11:31 PM EDT


(Skip to 1:45 to see the queen.)

Actress Madeleine Stowe joined The Ed Show Friday to advocate for women’s rights in Virginia—and to throw her support behind Wayne Powell, the Democratic challenger to Rep. Eric Cantor.



The actress, currently the star of ABC’s Hamptons-based drama Revenge, is a keynote speaker at a Women's Strike Force PAC event in Virginia this weekend.

Stowe, whose husband hails from Virginia, talked about the huge public outcry following Gov. Bob McDonnell’s intention to mandate transvaginal ultrasounds for informed consent for abortions. She pointed out that Virginia has only temporarily shelved a personhood bill. The bill, HB1, defines life as starting at conception, which could make it illegal for women to obtain contraception.

Powell, a relative unknown, has been garnering more support lately. Ed Schultz described Powell as "veteran, pro-choice, and for social and economic justice." On Thursday, Dave "Mudcat" Saunders, the fiery Democratic strategist, joined The Rachel Maddow Show and called Cantor a "bought and paid for crook."

Stowe sounded a similar theme. “Eric Cantor shorted US treasury bonds for his own financial gain,”she argued. “Cantor is in the hands of Wall Street. His interests are in Wall Street and major corporations. He is extremely vulnerable.”

Eric Cantor's voice annoys me for some reason.

There is nothing about Eric Cantor that isn't annoying

The stout humorless pretender who lived in the 19th century pales before out modern day Victoria Grayson.
chimbleysweep 15th-Jul-2012 12:09 am (UTC)
The Victorian Era did sort of ruin everything.

evett 15th-Jul-2012 01:27 am (UTC)
She is for women's rights yet is friends with Mel Gibson. hmmm
teaaet 15th-Jul-2012 02:18 am (UTC)
if you're good friends with someone you don't have to give up on them just because they do some crazy shit. although i do think it's a bad idea for her to run around LA with him, letting paps get pictures like it's nbd.
evett 15th-Jul-2012 02:55 am (UTC)
um when your friend is a misogynistic, woman beating, racist & anti-semite....mmmm yeah you should give up on that friend no matter how "good" they are to you.

When Joe Eszterhas was friends with Mel he told Joe's 15 year old son he was going to fuck his ex in the ass and stab her in the back while he did it. Joe slept with a golf club because he feared for his life around Mel.

*facepalm* moment

so i've been getting in to revenge which started airing here a month or so back
i went on vacation and missed a few ep
i go to itunes and dl the ep i had missed
was so sucked in i dl the rest of them, wondering that the first season must've just been a half season because it just said 15 ep
i even debated just "buy season" but figured i'd already seen the first however many and didn't want to bother with those downloading
so after the ep where they have the engagement party, i go to wikipedia and start reading up - totally hooked but didn't look earlier because i wanted to avoid spoilers
i got 3-4 character synopsis in, and was like ???
checked itunes again it says 23 ep total
umm wut?
google is my friend and sure enough total of 22 ep plus 1 midway recap show
DOH
ok so i go back to itunes again ... ohhhhhh scroll bar is also my friend

OMG i haven't done anything so foolish in a really long time
*facepalm*

I know nothing about this actress, but Eric Cantor is a despicable human being.
saintssin 15th-Jul-2012 01:49 am (UTC)
I feel like the Republicans are on their last legs. They know times are changing so they're pushing the most radical shit possible while they still have power. But in doing so they're pissing off... everyone.

Wanting guns in elementary schools, to kill/arrest abortion doctors, to ban contraception, wanting to ban gay marriage at the federal level, trying to cut financial aid because it's supposedly akin to socialist ideals, not wanting people to have health care, etc.

But they'd get mad if I went into their homes and kicked them in the face.
sassalicious 15th-Jul-2012 03:27 am (UTC)
not a Republican by any means, but I largely blame the Tea Party for not having the balls to run with a 'T' behind their names instead of an 'R'. Or maybe it was part of their sinister plan? Hmmm.
moon__river 15th-Jul-2012 02:06 am (UTC)
I'm embarrassed that Eric cantor is my congressman
