Congressional Republican opposition to the Iran deal simply boils down to kowtowing to opposing by the Israelis, MSNBC's Chris Matthews suggested during a roundtable discussion exchange with Republican strategist John Feehery on the Monday edition of Hardball. "Why don't we just turn it over to the Knesset then?" Matthews sneered, in reply to Feehery citing Israel's concerns about Iranian-sponsored terrorism. "Why have even a foreign policy in this country?"

But mere moments later, Matthews defended liberal Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), who is on record opposing the deal, by saying that of course he's "going to defend the interests of Israel and it's legitimate he do so. OK, there's nothing wrong with that. It's a fact."

"Right!" shot back Feehery, so, "why can't our friends [on the Republican side of the aisle] do the same thing?"

Good question, Chris. Maybe it's you, not Mr. Feehery, who's "underestimating the intelligence of [Hardball] viewers."

Here's the relevant transcript:

. . . a crazy uncle everybody ignores.

More like a wino on a steam gate shouting at passer-bys for spare change.

'Why Not Just Turn It Over to the Knesset Then?'

Yo, Chrissy, finally you are on to something.
Why not indeed, rather than than the dictatorial Cerified-57-States-Stupid unConstitutional traitorus muzzie marxist's pen and phone?
