On edit: Just checked the quote source -- from a 1905 operetta called The Red Mill - makes it even more bizarre. Did he perform that in school I wonder?

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which is charged with electing more Democrats to the House, dug up the old nickname used for for Mr. Cantor during his time as a state senator in Virginia.
