18. The corporate media needs to stop getting their international news from comediens

Kerry's speech the day he was in Paris was covered live on French media and was praised for being very good and in American accented very fluent French. They also covered him going to the various sites and laying wreaths and speaking to people involved .. in French. They also were impressed with his message the day it happened - and because it was in French, which they appreciated, it too got huge media coverage - that all from a French poster here.

Here, what was covered was not - the excellent, timely messages on the day of the murder at Charlie, not the fact that the US immediately provided help -- just that Obama did not send someone on the Sunday. On that day, the outrage was more in the US than in France -- and Kerry was among the only people who could not be blamed. He was in India and then Pakistan - not known as vacation hot spots - doing important work.

I don't think the "Bibi thing" was "masterful" for Boehner -- it was clearly cooked up by the Israeli ambassador - a former American Republican operative - and if anything Netanyahu is using him.
