The punchline? Precisely because of the Slaughter strategy, it’s not the Senate bill that the House will be voting on. They’ll be voting on the reconciliation “fix,” which will be deemed to include the Senate bill but which hasn’t even been written yet. Will that be ready 72 or 48 or 24 hours before the vote on? No one knows. Although honestly, at this point, I hope it isn’t. I’d prefer to see them finish the bill an hour before the vote, or else to pass a completely blank reconciliation bill and then fill in whatever provisions they like at a meeting with Obama afterwards.

Is there any outrage left?
I don't think it's possible to be any more infuriated. Now Steny Hoyer is claiming that the health care bill has been online for everyone to look at it so he doesn't see a need to have it online for the promised 72 hours before they vote on it. One little problem...
