House Speaker John Boehner plans to give Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a bust of Winston Churchill when he speaks to a joint meeting of Congress about the danger of a nuclear-armed Iran.
The gift was chosen because Netanyahu and the former prime minister of Britain are the only foreign leaders who have addressed Congress three separate times.

Boehner also has invited former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.But that's also a thumb in the eye of Barack Hussein Obama, who clearly does not admire Churchill:
President Obama has described himself as a 'citizen of the world.' In doing so, he is characterizing himself as what we would call a multi-culturalist. But he's not just someone who is tolerant of other cultures - he's a dogmatic multi-culturalist and his 'tolerance' extends to different forms of government. In Obama's world, all forms of government and all governments are equal. None is any better than the others.Maybe this has something to do with Obama's disdain for Churchill.
Winston Churchill (Obama's anti-hero in more ways than one) is known to have quipped that liberal democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others. Obama disagrees with that statement. He would argue that democracy is a form of government that is no better nor worse than the others. Once one accepts that statement, there is no advantage to be gained by promoting democracy. Each form of government is to be treated as equally meitorious and is to be dealt with on its own terms.
” Boner gets a 5 minute reprieve for this. Make it 10.”
Make it NOTHING. Boner is going to sell us out on amnesty, so this bone has no meat on it.
Make the bust 2nd and pipeline that afternoon.
yes, of all the millions of possible little “courtesy gifts,” Boehner has struck GOLD!
ha ha!
(of course, Churchill wasn’t the Jewish BMOC, ha!... but anyway we’re sure Bibi will graciously accept it with smiles all around.)
Good move
Applause
Subliminal message: Never, never, never give up.
Make the bust 2nd and pipeline that afternoon.
I am with you on that.
Former President George W Bush accepts the bust of Churchill from British ambassador Christopher Meyer in 2001
That’s gonna leave a mark!
actually this is a stroke of genius, and the funniest thing I’ve read coming from WashDC in ages
good for Boner!
if it involves a cigar, he can probably get one from Bill Clinton
Fitting present. I cannot help comparing Prime Minister Netanyahu to Sir Winston Churchill. Warriors turned politicians turned world leaders.
Netanyahu certainly compares well with the Churchill of 1936. I just hope and pray he does not have to be the modern day equivalent of Churchill, 1940-1945.
I have to give Boehner applause for this.
Maybe this has something to do with Obama’s disdain for Churchill.
Yep, cuz dog isn’t as tasty if it’s infected.
Yeah it sounded good for a bit, but you are right.
I will forgive BoneHead for one of his pubic blubberings if he actually does this.
Well Boehner doing the right thing is a good suit, one you can wear everyday like a man, one that fits better every time you put on, it is a new suit for you, I hope you have the wisdom to not put it in the back of your closet.
