I absolutely love that this is backfiring on the House majority the way that it is. As scummy as was to try to boost Netanyahu's reelection prospects in this way, their real mistake was trying to use a serious legislative and diplomatic discussion just to insult Obama.
I only hope more of Congress boycotts the speech and it would be amazing if it forced a cancellation.

He's just being played as a pawn by the GOP. They only care that he will excite their base and increase voter turnout, and prevent God from destroying America for going against the Chosen Peple, of course.
Netanyahu had more to do with this than he's admitting to, he's just a more adept politician than anyone in the House Republican leadership. He used them too, and was able to fall back on the fact that they pushed harder for the speech than he did.
