Politico 44: Rahm, Pelosi spend more than 3 hours in her office with Blue Dogs and Waxman-PLUS

[flpoljunkie]

MARATHON: Rahm Emanuel has been in Speaker Pelosi's office for more than three hours, a Democratic aide says, meeting with Blue Dogs and Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman.

Pelosi just stepped out of the meeting. (4:34 p.m.

UPDATE: The (long!) session just ended. (4:51 p.m.)

PLUS: In a bit of timing you can't buy, White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle just pitched a perfect game, shortly before POTUS was scheduled to return to his hometown. (4:40 p.m.)

on the Blue Dogs.

Oh dear, the carnage.
