Matthews said, “Let me finish tonight with this crapstorm that has Netanyahu has started. All the Prime Minister had to do to avoid all this fighting with Washington was to speak out. That’s what he could have done, speak out the second he heard that the invitation for him to address the US Congress was issued without the knowledge of the American President. All he had to do was say ‘I will only come if this invitation is bipartisan, and certainly only if the President of the United States has approved it.’ All he had to do was that just say, ‘I don’t like the way this thing has been handled. I had no intention to do this under the table. No intention of disrespecting the President of the United States. Because, even if we disagree, I will not abuse the historic ties between our two countries, with Democrats and Republicans alike.'”
He concluded, “well, here’s a thought, the Prime Minister can now say, right at the front of his remarks next week, that he didn’t know. Nobody told him that the president was not duly informed of his invitation, and he is sorry the whole thing went the way it did. Just say you didn’t know this thing was carried out in the dark. That’s if you were not party to this subterfuge. If, Mr. Prime Minister, you knew from the outset that this was all a way to blindside the president and therefore humiliate him, well that’s the problem, isn’t it.”

What Chrissy-Fit's suggesting is that Barry should have veto authority over anyone's coming to make a speech to a joint session of Congress. Since the branches are co-equal, is he ready to give SCOTUS and Congress right to veto any of his White Hut guests? I didn't think so!
That would be unprecedented, certainly unnecessary and counter-productive.
HF
guns,gear,ammo and fuel. good luck. Just sayin.....
Irrational deranged hallucinatory people used to be put in rubber rooms for their own protection. Now they’re givrn broadcast microphones - and actually allowed to roam the public streets !!!!!!!
Apparently Sissy Matthews stepped out into the crapstorm without a parka on.
Chris has sadly become a full-blown leftist lunatic over the years.
No Chris.
Congress is a co-equal branch of government.
Congress can invite whoever they want to visit and speak. They don’t need permission or give Obama veto power over who appears.
Just as Obama can invited Sharpton to the White House 80 some times without the approval or endorsement of Congress, Boehner and McConnell can invite someone to speak, without Obama being involved.
Why is this concept so hard to understand? The “crap storm” as Mathews calls it, was stirred up by liberals and the media. It was not stirred up by Congress or Netanyahu. The liberals decided to pick a fight over this issue, and that’s why it became a “crap storm”.
So what are we saying??? That Chris Mathews and liberal media types have to approve of who speaks to Congress, otherwise they will create a crap storm over it????
Matthews is doing all he can (as usual) to help out his mulatto-marxist-muslim secular messiah. Good thing Matthews is ineffective and doesn’t have anywhere near the level of media influence and attention he once had ... not that Netanyahu would have cared “a whit about the twit”.
Leftists have major problems when the truth is told. That is why they are coming unhinged. Just show up and tell the truth, Bibi.
No Bibi did NOT start it. Zer0 has been disrespectful to Bibi from the very beginning. Zer0 has been on the wrong side of EVERYTHING, just as he has this. Zer0 is a contemptible worm.
“That’s what he could have done, speak out the second he heard that the invitation for him to address the US Congress was issued without the knowledge of the American President.”
WRONG!!!!!!!
What’s with these guys. I’m not a journalist and neither are almost all of us on this forum, but JUST ABOUT ALL OF US KNOW THIS STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE FROM JUST READING THE FACTS. WHY ARE THESE JOURNALISTS AND TALK SHOW HOSTS THIS STUPID? OR DO THEY THINK WE’RE STUPID?
Dems are REALLY freaking out over this, in a way I haven’t seen before.
What are they so frightened about, that Netanyahu could reveal??
It can't be a contrast between an actual leader and the fop that we have in the White House. People already know that - and they don't seem to care (as long as the Media continues to prop him up). I doubt Netanyahu has anything really new to say. There is no U.S. election on the horizon.
I don't get it.
Excuse me, Chrissy the Sissy, but YOU and your ilk started the so-called crapstorm. You could have just reported the fact that Netanyahu was coming at the invitation of congress and that it had upset some of the congress and the White House. Instead you got every anti-Semite you could dig up to comment on it and ran with it 24/7 until the next big H8conservatives issue came along.
well put!
Both!
Hey, you might be on to something there...
Congress can invite anyone they want to speak to them. It’s not an effing dictatorship here Crissy... Our President IS NOT A KING. Grow up and get over it.
You have to admit, Cwissy is an expert on crapstorms.
Pray America is waking
I give up. What ARE you saying....
