Hell, yes...
"There is hypocrisy in the discussion of the Netanyahu-Boehner end-run. It is not unprecedented for foreign leaders to lobby Congress directly; the Arab states opposed to Iran do it all the time, and the British prime minister, David Cameron, lobbied Congress earlier this month on behalf of Obamas Iran policy, and against the arguments of the Republicans.
But the manner and execution and overall tone-deafness of Netanyahus recent ploy suggest that heand his current ambassadordont understand how to manage Israels relationships in Washington. Netanyahu wants a role in shaping the Iranian nuclear agreement, should one materialize. His recent actions suggest that he doesn't quite know what he's doing."
