Boehner Invites Binyamin Netanyahu to Speak To Congress on Iran Nuke Program, After Obama Threatens Veto on Iran Sanctions;
White House, Get This, Gets Girlishly Snitty

So, Boehner is asking Netanyahu to speak before Congress on Iran, which is sort of like Woody Allen pulling out Marshall McLuhan from behind a wall in Annie Hall.

House Speaker John Boehner announced Wednesday he is inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress next month about the threat from Iran, in a sharp rebuke to President Obama....

The House speaker's office said Netanyahu will be invited to speak Feb. 11 before a joint session of Congress. The invitation comes as lawmakers weigh legislation, supported by Republicans and some Democrats, to tee up more sanctions against Iran in case negotiations fail to curtail the country's nuclear enrichment program.

...

"Prime Minister Netanyahu is a great friend of our country, and this invitation carries with it our unwavering commitment to the security and well-being of his people," Boehner said in a statement. "In this time of challenge, I am asking the prime minister to address Congress on the grave threats radical Islam and Iran pose to our security and way of life."

So this White House, which conducts its business entirely like a gaggle of eight-grade Mean Girls, in nothing but Snits, Slam-Books, and iPods containing the Alpha Girl's recorded thoughts, is of course revolting.

And they're objecting, too.

Asked about the invite, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest described it as a breach of typical protocol since the White House wasn't involved.

Or as the nasty little girls put it:

I really doubt any of these sad little girls have ever been punched.

I think it would do the World a world of good if maybe some of them were.

Update: just something someone pointed out on the Twitter-Machine:
