WASHINGTON — A bank that employs the wife of Rep. Eric I. Cantor, R-Va., benefited from the $700 billion Wall Street bailout that Cantor helped steer through Congress last fall.

Diana F. Cantor runs a Virginia-based subsidiary of New York Private Bank and Trust. The New York bank received $267.2 million from the U.S. Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program Jan. 9.

A spokesman for New York Private Bank and Trust told ProPublica, an investigative journalism Web site that first reported the relationship, Diana Cantor was “never aware that the parent bank was seeking or received funding.” A spokesman for the New York bank declined to comment for this report.

Diana Cantor, the managing director of the subsidiary, Virginia Private Bank and Trust, did not return a phone call seeking comment Monday. She also serves on Media General’s board of directors.

1. so she runs the bank, but was "never aware" the bank was seeking bailout funds

yeah, right. whatever. :eyes:

3. To be fair she doesn't "run" the Bank.

She manages a subsidiary of the Bank. I am fairly certain the Subsidiary doesn't get involved in the Major decisions of the Bank. It is like saying every Branch Manager of Wells Fargo knows what the President of Wells Fargo is doing. How many Branches of Wells Fargo are there anyway, five thousand?

2. Let's Give Her a Break

How bright can she be if she married him?:think: She comes from a Democratic family. She totally sold out to marry him. She is very interested in being Mrs. Rep. Cantor.

4. He's a despicable little weasel, and the Pukes seem to be grooming him

as one of their more prominent SpokesDicks.

Would love to see him flame out...:thumbsup:
