Meanwhile, Bibi-gate continues

++Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer and Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein were summoned to a meeting with Democrats in Steve Israel's office. To quell the furor over Bibi's speech, Dermer pled ignorance that such a move would provoke the Democratic reaction it has. The Democratic congressmen and women didn't believe him and told him so. 

++The Democrats were so frustrated with Dermer they have started to draft a letter asking Netanyahu not to come. They just can't agree on the wording.

++Adding fuel to the fire, White House spokesman Ernst suggested openly that Joe Biden might not come because it was a breach of protocol.

++Stay tuned.
