Washington in 60 Seconds: Health Care, Head-Butting, Race and Fighter Jets

Good morning, Capitolists! It's the end of a wild week in Washington that included the Senate shooting down the F-22 fighter jet, Harry Reid dashing Democrats' dreams of health care reform before fall, and the president calling on Politics Daily's Lynn Sweet at his press conference to derail a perfectly dull event and ignite a controversy.

And there's still a whole day left in the week! Here's what's happening in Washington today:

* On cable news, expect more heated discussion of Henry-Louis-Gates-gate and the role of race in his arrest.

* Two days after the Senate killed funding for more F-22s, a memo surfaces that the Pentagon might have hidden a report that it could need more after all. Scandal ready for take off?

* The House Democratic caucus meets behind closed doors to talk about passing a health care overhaul next week. With all the arm-twisting and head-butting expected, we suggest having a doctor on call.

* When the doctor is done at the House, send him to the Oval Office. That's where the president's meeting with Harry Reid and Max Baucus, the Senate's top health care fixers.

* Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki meets with the president, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and James Jones to talk about the Iraqi handover and bringing the country back to health.

* TiVo Alert for Sunday: Sec. of State Hillary Clinton sits for the full hour on NBC's "Meet the Press." Look for Q's about North Korea calling her a "schoolgirl," whether she'll run again for president, and what her husband has been up to lately.
