Pelosi slams Netanyahu invite
The Hill ^ | January 22, 2015 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 01/22/2015 9:16:13 AM PST by maggief

Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) surprise invitation to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address Congress was "inappropriate," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi charged Thursday

The California Democrat said that, not only did Boehner break congressional protocol by not consulting with Democratic leaders about the invitation, but the timing of the speech — coming just a few weeks ahead of Israel's contentious national elections — hints that politics are at play.

"It's out of the ordinary that the Speaker would decide that he would be inviting people to a joint session without any bipartisan consultation," Pelosi said Thursday during her weekly press briefing in the Capitol. "And there are concerns about the fact that this … presentation will take place within two weeks of the election in Israel," she added. "I don't think that's appropriate for any country, that the head of state would come here within two weeks of his own election in his own country."

broke congressional protocol...

Are you freakin' kidding me. What do you call the vote on Obamacare?

Democrats are simply the most dishonest hypocrites.

Is this the same woman who traveled to Syria to meet Assad when Bush was president?:

An apparently botched message during a widely discouraged visit by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Syria this week has U.S. officials criticizing rogue efforts at diplomacy among U.S. politicians.

This from the one that said, “We have to pass the bill to see what’s in it”?!

She’s nuts!

Well Nancy, everything Boehner knows about bipartisanship, he learned by watching you.

Would this be headscarf Pelosi that visited Syria years ago?

I think this one is more aligned with the Pelosi Armenian Genocide House resolution which subsequently pissed off Turkey and blocked the 4th ID from crossing Turkey into Iraq during the initial invasion. Diplomacy and protocol doncha know..

The GOP should have had a bellyful by now. I hope they make these little b*tches squeal like piggies every day for the rest of the Kenyan Klown’s administration.

Breitbart's C-Span video also has her saying, without shame, the following:

Thursday at her weekly briefing, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blasted Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) for inviting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to address Congress without consulting the administration by saying, “It’s hubris to say, ‘I rule, I’ll decide.'”

Pelosi also took the press to task for not reporting Boehner has “unilaterally” lowered the members per committee, which is under his purview as speaker.

“not only did Boehner break congressional protocol by not consulting with Democratic leaders....”

Since when did traditions mean anything to you dopes?

Maybe we didn’t “have time to wait”, and decided to “bypass” you guys with this new thing called “majority actions”?

Congressional Protocol

If you want to see what’s in the bill you have to sign it first.
