Well, now, the "cool" kids sure don't like the Jewish exchange student, do they? And they also sure don't want to be seen as not liking him, either, because everybody would know why:
Tensions are mounting between the White House and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of his address to Congress next week to warn of the dangers imposed by a nuclear Iran....
The antagonism came to a head on Tuesday night when Rice denounced Netanyahu's trip to Washington to implore Congress to vote against a nuclear deal with Iran, saying the visit was "destructive of the fabric of the relationship" between Israel and the U.S.
On PBS' Charlie Rose Show, Rice declared that until recent weeks, the two nations have always enjoyed a bipartisan relationship.
"By virtue of the invitation that was issued by the speaker, and the acceptance of it by Prime Minister Netanyahu two weeks in advance of his election is that on both sides there has now been injected a degree of partisanship," she said.
So Bibi is "destroying the bipartisan fabric of the Israeli-American relationship" by....what, Susie? Refusing to dociley bend over and take Barack Obama's pro-Iranian, pro-Hamas abuse? Is it not your demigod who is making himself the second consecutive Democrat president to blatantly interfere in internal Israeli politics to try and overthrow Mr. Netanyahu, all because he refuses to let his country be sold down the river by a jihadi-symp without a fight and his people be subjected to yet another diaspora at best, genocide at worst? Just who was it that started the unraveling of this "bipartisan relationship"? Because it's awfully difficult to see how Mr. Netanyahu can be blamed for it.
Oh, and speaking of "destroying the fabric of the bipartisan relationship".....:
Adding fuel to the fire was a recent invitation by Senators Durbin and Feinstein to Netanyahu to speak privately to the Democrat caucus, possibly even hoping the prime minister would accept the offer instead of speaking to Congress. [emphasis added]
"Bipartisan relationship" <chuckle> And that meeting would have taken place behind closed doors to boot.
It sure seems like the White House and its depleted congressional ranks are sorely afraid of what Bibi will have to say, as well as the eloquence and persuasiveness with which he will say it. This was Commissar of State John Kerry's avenue of attack:
Kerry also lashed out at Netanyahu, saying that the prime minister was jumping the gun by warning against any nuclear deal between Iran and the six world powers, called P5+1, that would leave the Islamic [Empire] on the threshold of a creating [a bigger nuclear arsenal than the United States].
"Anybody running around right now, jumping in to say, 'well, we don't like the deal,' or this or that, doesn't know what the deal is," Kerry told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday.
"There is no deal yet. And I caution people to wait and see what these negotiations produce," he said.
Oh, we know what these negotiations are going to produce, Lurch. And so does Mr. Netanyahu, which is why he's coming here to sound the alarm. As do Speaker Boehner and Majority Leader McConnell, which is why they extended the speaking invitation to him. And strangely enough, they, and he, and the rest of us, just don't value handing that worthless piece of paper to your boss to wave around pathetically while coming down the steps of Air Force One to proclaim that he has "achieved peace in our time".
But I think this Donk bleat is my favorite:
Twenty-three House Democrats, in fact, urged Boehner in a letter last week to postpone the controversial speech, saying that the speaker was "using a foreign leader as a political tool against" Obama.
To which I can only say that a picture is, once again, worth a thousand words:
Yes, that's then-House Speaker "Crazy Nancy" Pelosi canoodling with Syrian dictator Bashir al-Asaad at a time when Democrats were referring to him as a "reformer," and later to use him as a tool FOR Obama.
All of the above only underscores what a masterstroke this speech is for Boehner and McConnell. As I wrote the day they extended Bibi the invitation:
There's nothing that a hardcore narcissist hates more than to be upstaged by somebody he virulently hates, and is more popular than he is. There couldn't be a better retort to O's threatened veto of new Iran sanctions.
Benjamin Netanyahu won't stop Barack Obama from making sure the mullahs get their nukes. But he will make sure that The One owns all the horrific consequences that follow.
