Starting at about minute five, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D., Md.) ducks and dodges a question from Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R., Va.) as to whether the Democrats will use the Slaughter Rule to pass the Senate bill.
Also, an open invitation to any reader who wants to count the number of times Hoyer uses the word “rules” over the course of the entire clip.
UPDATE: That was quick. From a reader:
“Rules”
Hoyer used Rules (Committee), rule or rules 16 times. Methinks he doth protest too much.
