House Speaker John Boehner may be getting plastered even by the conservative press for the stunt of inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to the House on the "dangers" posed by Iran, a transparent attempt to disrupt Obama foreign policy in the region in favor of the more bomb-oriented approach preferred by Netanyahu and American neoconservatives, but he's not backing down.
“The House of Representatives is a equal branch of the government, and we have a right to do it, and we did it,” the Ohio Republican said Tuesday morning after a closed meeting of House Republicans. “And I’m frankly proud of the fact the prime minister has accepted our invitation, and will be here on March 3 to talk to the members of Congress about the serious threat that Iran poses, and the serious threat of radical Islam.”
So there. The Republican House seems to frequently defend doing stupid or insulting things under the banner of their right to do stupid or insulting things if they feel like it. (Cough, government shutdown, cough.) Deciding not to do the stupid or insulting thing because the rest of the nation considers it stupid or insulting doesn't seem to come up as often.
he is trying to find some sort of legitimacy for republican house, he also is trying to save face by doing his version of executive order as a obvious slap on Pres. but when you get called out for it even by your own party it can be nothing more than another screw up and abandoning by his party at his trying to be a big boy in long pants, blubbering at 11pm.

the idiot once said,  
BOEHNER: Well, Bob, we should not be judged on how many new laws we create. We ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal We’ve got more laws than the administration could ever enforce.  
it appears he is the one that doesn't know how gov't works not the Pres., and no one on the right stepped up and corrected that backwards declaration he seems to be proud of, and they re-elect him to speaker how screwed up is that it's really getting more convincing of what the referrence to party of stupid is referring to.
