Aw, it’s a bipartisan lovefest! Nancy Pelosi’s director of new media agrees with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor: Free the Spotify!
I agree with Mr. Cantor. MT @gopleader House blocked Spotify? This is 2013. It is a legal service that should be allowed.

Twitter reaction is mixed to the congressman’s plea to “Let the music flow!”
.@fshakir @gopleader Why do you two think the taxpayers should be paying for this bandwidth exactly??

Ha! Priceless: BuzzFeed’s Ben Smith has developed a strange, new respect for federal fiscal discipline.

Wait… Spotify was *allowed* at the House until now? How come I could never use it on my Federal Gov’t computer, @gopleader?

Some suggested that there are more pressing issues at hand than whether the House comes between Cantor and his Spotify.
@gopleader I can appreciate your love for music, but seriously… Focus, man, focus.

@gopleader Or, you could stop wasting tax dollars and focus on defending the Constitution! Better go tell cons to “get their asses in line”

@gopleader stop sequestration that’s a more pressing issue
— deaner (@coastie1991) February 1, 2013
Perhaps we should negotiate?
Oh, so this! LOL!RT @danriehl: @gopleader No more Spotify until you promise to not dance w/ Democrats ; p~ @galtsgirl

Now back to work, Cantor.
Next week, the House will consider the #RequireAPlan Act to require President Obama to put forward his plan to balance the budget.#tcot
