Forbes destroys John Boehner in scathing smackdown

[Panich52]

Earlier this week, conservative website forbes.com published a scathing article about Boehner's invitation to Netanyahu to address Congress. Titled "Bibi Netanyahu -- aka 'The Republican Senator From Israel' -- May Have Made A Fatal Political Mistake," the article begins as a critical analysis of Netanyahu and how his actions may have, in fact, hindered his chances for re-election. The second half of the article, however, is about the roles played by Isreali Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer and House Speaker John Boehner in this political theater, and whether or not laws were broken in the process by Ron Dermer. A more interesting question would be whether or not laws were broken by Boehner. Still, the article is worth reading.

Considering that Speaker Boehner has failed to accomplish anything of note during his Speakership, I can only wonder how it must feel to have his legacy be his effort to disgrace the American President in the effort to bolster the political chances of a foreign leader.

He concludes:

Seeking to damage any American President by helping a foreign leader embarrass our own leader can never be considered something that is best for the nation. And that is simply the truth no matter what your political persuasion or your feelings about the current occupant of the Oval Office.

I actually agree with that.

I agree, too.
