Chris Matthews rages against Netanyahu speech, Jon Stewart jokes about it, and Sarah Palin just tries to make a buck.

Courtesy of Raw Story: 

“I’ll get to the heart of this speech now,” Matthews told MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts. “This man from a foreign government walked into the United States legislative chamber and tried to take over U.S. foreign policy. He said, ‘You should trust me, not your president on this. I am the man you should trust, I am your true leader on this question of U.S. geopolitics. To protect yourself, you must listen to me and not this president.’” 

“It was a startling situation,” he continued. “To allow someone to come in — knowing that was going to be their message — to the U.S. Congress. This was a decision made by Boehner and certainly complied with by Netanyahu and his ambassador [Ron Dermer]. They went into the U.S. Congress to take over U.S. foreign policy from the president.” 

“Think it through, what country in the world would let a foreign leader come in and attempt to wrest from the president control of the U.S. foreign policy?” Matthews asked. 

“This was a takeover attempt by Netanyahu with this complying America partners to take American foreign policy out of the hands of the president.”

I watched portions of the speech, and watched several responses to it as well, and I think in this case Matthews is dead on. 

Can any of us imagine this happening to any other President than Barack Obama? I certainly can't.

It is just another indication of how little respect the Republicans demonstrate toward a duly elected two term President of these United States.

Jon Stewart was not impressed with Netanyahu's speech either and called the congressional response to it,  "by far the longest blowjob a Jewish man has ever received."

Of course not all of the Republicans demonstrated the same level of idolatry.

Of course for Sarah Palin every word that fell out of Netanyahu's mouth was a gem, and also an opportunity to sell t-shirts and get more money into the SarahPAC coffers: 

Excellent speech by Prime Minister Netanyahu today! If you want to continue to show your support for Bibi and Israel, check out this bold t-shirt from SarahPAC.

"Great speech wasn't it? Now give me some damn money!"

Gee if we actually let the Prime Minister of Israel set foreign policy for the United States then we will undoubtedly allow him to help talk us into an ill advised war with Iran, just like he did with that ill advised war with Iraq.

I assume this is the Republican's idea of a jobs plan. To send more Americans overseas to fight in senseless wars and leave fewer of them signing up for unemployment benefits here at home.
