Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace told Shepard Smith the White House was flabbergasted when it learned House Speaker John Boehner had invited Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak before Congress.
Chris Wallace BLASTS 'Dicey Politics' Of Netanyahu Sneaking In To Address Congress
Even Fox News is outraged at Boehner and Netanyahu's plan to undermine Obama
Fox News is not exactly known as an ally of the Obama administration, especially when it comes to disputes between Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, or disputes between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yet two prominent Fox News hosts, Chris Wallace and Shepherd Smith, harshly criticized Boehner and Netanyahu on Friday for secretly arranging a Netanyahu speech to Congress that is transparently aimed at undermining President Obama, and set up without the White House's knowledge.

Boner isn't smart enough to come up with an idea like that on his own.
