Stupak That, You Fucker

Pro-choice women legislators were reported to have emerged "tight-lipped" from Pelosi's office after a discussion yesterday.
Today, Pelosi's made clear there will be no addition to the bill, Stupak has cancelled his press conference that was expected to announce a positive negotiation for the so-called Catholic Bishops' amendment and — WAY-O —
Yesterday, though, Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV)--a Stupak follower--told reporters that the dozen is probably down to about six. And that may not be enough to force leadership's hand.
"We think we have the votes regardless, and we're going to be moving forward," Schakowsky said. "Yes. We do think we have the votes without him."
A huge development, if true.
See ya'll at noon tomorrow EST.

UPDATE: But maybe a meaningless executive order would satisfy their egos. Politics, blechh!
"I think it's clear enough that there [is] no federal funding. If an executive order underscores that, satisfies some people, that's fine," Waxman said.
