The morning e-mail from Eric Cantor’s press guy Joe Pounder: “Yeah, we’ve got nothing for you this morning. No clever opening. Why? Because with Friday quickly approaching, there is still no final House Democrat bill. Can’t do anything when you’ve got nothing.”

As I understand it, in the late hours yesterday, the word was that there would be no vote on the House floor on Friday, then there was news that they didn’t know if there would be a committee vote, then there was talk that they might stick around and work on the weekend, and then Nancy Pelosi emerged and said nothing had been decided.
