Warren, Dems lecture Bibi, plan to skip speech because it's 'partisan'

Democrats are making the most of their Bibi Netanyahu temper tantrum. They’re probably thanking John Boehner in the cloakroom for giving them this opportunity to play to their base.

How dare he invite an ally to speak!?!? RT @GlobeRowland @senwarren skipping Bibi speech because of "unfortunate" partisan move by Boehner

@derekahunter @instapundit @GlobeRowland @SenWarren Nothing says PARTISAN more than when Dems skip BiBi's speech b/c of Boehner.

(2) As a supporter of Israel I hope we can move past this political storm and focus again on critical policy interests our nations share.

@JoaquinCastrotx "I support Israel so I think I'll boycott the Prime Minister's speech"

@JoaquinCastrotx why would you decline? Why not at least hear what he has to say? At least give him that respect
