Fox says "Dude... he's our president, you don't talk to him like that." Only we get to do that!!

Chris Wallace:

I think he's 100% right. And to give you a sense, I happened to be at the White House on Wednesday, when Boehner announced that he had invited, and that Netanyahu accepted this, and a top White House official was flabbergasted, said that 'we got no advance warning about his, we found out about it' —'we', them at the White House—and Boehner announced it to the press. And to make you get a sense of really how, forgive me, wicked, this whole thing is, Secretary of State John Kerry met with the Israeli Ambassador to the United States for two hours on Tuesday, Ron Dermer. The ambassador never mentioned the fact that Netanyahu was in negotiations and finally agreed to come to Washington, not to see the president, but to go to Capitol Hill, speak to a joint session of congress and criticize the president's policy. I have to say I'm shocked...

Shepard Smith:

It was Secretary Kerry who had a pretty good comeback to Boehner's political stunt here... and I wonder what your thought is about this, if in the end Netanyahu won't back out of this. Because members of his own Mossad have come out and said this is a horrible idea, and so have members of his own political party. Of course, his political opponents are screaming up and down, the newspapers over there are going wild over this, it just seems like they think we don't pay attention and that we're just a bunch of complete morons, the United States citizens, as if we wouldn't pick up on what's happening here!

Wallace:

Well, here's something that's real interesting about this. You know, it's two weeks before the election, and supposedly, I mean, I think Martin Indyk has it right. Bibi Netanyahu is an extremely savvy and successful politician. He wouldn't come here unless he thought it was to his political advantage. But one of the big issues in Israel is always the relationship between Israel and the U.S. And even when they are fighting with each other, the Israelis want to know that the U.S has their back. For Netanyahu to do something that is going to be seen as such a deliberate and really pretty egregious snub of President Obama, when Obama is going to be in power for the next year an three-quarters, it seems to me a very risky political strategy...for Netanyahu to come here and side with Boehner against Obama on Iran seems to me to be very dicey politics.

Smith:

You know, the last president, George Bush, used to say, "You must stop the expansion of the settlements." What did Israel do? They moved on with expanding the settlements. This president said, "You got to stop expanding the settlements!" and they just keep expanding the settlements. Leaving some in the White House to say, this is because Netanyahu doesn't really want a two-state solution, otherwise he'd work toward one. It's all very confusing, and highly complicated.

1. Surely decency and the best interest of the country

Have nothing to do with this from Fox. So the biggest question I have is why. What system for the rich stands to be upset? What group of evangelicals are pissed? Or is it that if he does come here more damage will be done and somebody doesn't make money? Or doesn't go to heaven?

[Blanks]

2. Decency doesn't seem like a logical conclusion...

It's possible that they're trying to push Boehner out. It's actually a criticism of Boehner, they're not really saying anything positive about the president.

Who do they have in the wings to step in when he resigns in shame (as speaker)?

3. Probably Louie Gohmert.
