Schweitzer Apologizes for ‘Stupid’ Comments About Cantor and Feinstein

Former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer has finally apologized for remarks he made in a National Journal profile earlier this week in which he called Eric Cantor effeminate and likened Dianne Feinstein‘s hypocrisy on surveillance to a prostitute suddenly acting chaste.

Schweitzer said that Cantor sets off his gaydar and that Feinstein was “the woman who was standing under the streetlight with her dress pulled all the way up over her knees, and now she says, ‘I’m a nun,’ when it comes to this spying!”

Here’s Schweitzer’s full Facebook apology:

Schweitzer, by the way, is considered to be a longshot contender to run for president in 2016.
