Although they are tiny by all estimations when it comes to most things, Boehner finds “them,” then loses “them” again later in the day (see next story). The “them” relates to a common analogy regarding fortitude.
This is laugh out loud funny –
Only the most robotic Obamaton, like, say, a “Phil Silverman”, master or mistress of “down-home” talkin’ points issued by MSNBC, would fail to see the delicious absurdity of the administration’s “shock” at the “breach of protocol” committed by the US Congress. The temerity, to invite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to address that body without first informing…make that, asking permission of… President Obama and his “folks” .
This from an administration led by a guy who boasts that he doesn’t need Congress to do anything he wishes…declaring he “has a pen and a phone (and a smirk)”…and deciding, on his “lonesome” that, if anything, the US Constitution is a set of “suggestions” which he may choose to disregard or accept, depending upon whether or not they suit his agenda.
Oh, and by the way, “Earnest Josh”, who was Boehner supposed to ask if it was OK to invite Mr. Netanyahu…Marie Harf?, or Jen Psaki? or James Taylor?

Reuters, – US Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said on Thursday that Republican congressional leaders did not consult him on inviting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress, but would welcome the speech. “I wasn´t consulted,” He added, however, “I have a good relationship with Netanyahu,” Reid said. “He called me as a matter of fact about my injury, which I appreciated. ”
OH NOOO! HAVE THESE REPUBLICANS NO DECENCY? Harry wasn’t consulted? OMG! There goes the bi-partisanship.
