Democratic leader notes GOP Whip Cantor backed use of 'deem and pass' measure in past

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) paraphrased an old definition of the Yiddish term "chutzpah" to offer a stinging rebuke to Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) on Wednesday.

In characterizing Republican objections to the Democrats' possible use of what is called a "deem and pass" procedure to enact health care reform, Hoyer noted that "unfortunately, Republicans are a little bit like the boy who killed his two parents and then wants sympathy because they're an orphan."

8. Republican rebuttal: "That remark is an OUTRAGE! Orphans deserve no sympathy!"
And polls on Fox News show that 113% of Americans agree.
