Greta Van Susteren shreds GOP’s ‘horrific’ Iran letter: Republicans are ‘pen pals’ with the Ayatolla

More: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/fox-news-host-shreds-gops-horrific-iran-letter-republicans-are-pen-pals-with-the-ayatollah/

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Sunday blasted Republican senators for sending a “horrific” letter to Iran, and attempting an “end run” around the president.

David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, told an ABC News panel that the 46 senators who joined Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-AR) letter undermine President Barack Obama’s negotiations with Iran had made a “horrendous” mistake.

“If you read the text of the letter, it is the most condescending, infantile text assuming that the leaders of Iran — whatever you may think of them, and there’s a lot on the record to think terribly of them — that somehow, that they have no idea what the American system is all about,” Remnick explained. “It’s an absurd comical exercise.”

Susteren agreed: “I think that letter was horrific.”

... "unofficially".... as we speak, between GOP and the mullahs with an eye on 2016.

It's not like we haven't seen it before.

Isn't she friends with Sarah and Taaaawdd? We all know that Sarah would have signed this letter in a heartbeat if she had been in any position to do so. Glad to see that even some right wingers are appalled by this.

Palin will be out there tomorrow on Faux about how the letter was a good thing, and "Gosh darn I know if I were president, I would have already nuked Iraq, I mean Iran, whatever, same Muslims ya know. Reload, not Retreat like Paul Revere once said with bells and guns blazing"

I meant to say the power brokers and financiers behind the scenes know that this b.s is not going to win elections.

Funny.. no one is treating it as the "joke" like the 47Traitortots wanted it to be.

“It end runs the president, which I think is terrible,” she said. “I think they could have achieved the same goal without sending a letter becoming pen pals with the leadership of Iran.” Greta V S

Word! Mahalo Jamaal~ The 7 repubs who didn't sign it are looking smarter than the rest of the gop herd now. Bet they're going "Whew!"
