Now that Vice President Biden has announced that he will be otherwise engaged on March 3, we cats suppose it is time for us to weigh in on the world's biggest pain in the ass, Benjamin Netanyahu.
(Okay, so maybe Vladimir Putin is a bigger pain. But Netanyahu runs a close second.)
At first we wished that Joe could have come up with a better reason than merely being out of town. But then it dawned on us that if the worst Speaker of the House in US history, the Prime Minister of Israel and that used-car salesman of an Israeli ambassador (who is clearly on the payroll of the Republican National Committee) had followed proper protocols, perhaps the Vice President's calendar could have been cleared.
We hope that other members of Congress will follow in Biden's footsteps and discover that they need to wash their hair that day. We're heartened to see that many already have.
But as much as we dislike Netanyahu and believe that it's been Barack Obama's bad luck that his time in office has coincided with his, we know who the true villains of the piece are. And we wouldn't be surprised if, as the weeks go by and he's made to realize the damage that John Boehner and the Republicans have done, Netanyahu suddenly decides that he's got an election campaign to run and cancels the speech.
That would be the one thing that would keep us cats from dumping our dirty litter boxes over Bibi's head. In the meantime, we'll save that gesture for Boehner, and HISS.
