++Josh Marshall reports that Bibi's Speech Pact isn't going so well. The Israeli Prime Minister was burning up the phones with congressional Democrats, including both Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Both Democratic leaders told him the whole idea was a big mistake, Bibi was trying to pacify the Democrats so that the flap would die down. But it isn't. Democratic congressional leaders let Bibi know that he ensured there would be no additional sanctions against Iran until after the deadline for the talks and that he had alienated them and the American Jewish community.
++You would have thought that once key Jewish pundits and heads of organizations started to balk that Bibi would be quick to reach out and try to quell the controversy. This has already lingered too long.
