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.

Israel supporter Rep Steve Israel (D-NY) on the #Netanyahu invitation:
It’s as though you invited a guest you didn’t like to a bad wedding.— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) March 3, 2015
(1) I have been asked whether I will attend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address tomorrow. I respectfully decline.

(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

.@SenWarren says Boehner Bibi invitation "less helpful" for nuclear arms control talks

Taking your toys and going home is more helpful, apparently.
