Shame on Pelosi for ill-timed remarks, but what a flimsy excuse.

Boehner's the one who said that, but several have come out since then and said it made no difference to their votes. Hard to know how many it really affected, but since we're only talking about 12 (out of 435), seems like an extremely foolish thing for Pelosi to do.
