Jarrett had told an investors conference in Las Vegas on Thursday that she believes that Boehner will allow a comprehensive immigration reform bill, or a package of bills, to come up for a vote after a series of GOP primaries this summer in order to avoid spoiling the chances of some Republican incumbents.

If these incumbents vote for "comprehensive immigration reform," Reps should stay home. Time to send these bastards a message.

Interesting thing is that Jarrett’s statement may have been a deliberate attempt to tick the GOP base off into staying home, helping ensure Dem retention of the Senate.

She isn’t really known for making gaffes like this. So we presume that the original statement came out exactly as she intended it too. The backtracking is just a way of covering her and the administrations a**es.

That leaves two options. The first is that she inadvertently let slip the existence of a secret deal in a public forum. Again, not something she’s known for.

The other option is, knowing how divisive amnesty is within the GOP. And how riled up the GOP base is over it and the GOPe, she’s trying do some voter suppression by exploiting that division to convince Conservatives to stay home.

I’d probably break the mistake/slip/suppress likelihood ratio down to a 10/30/60 split.
