++The Israeli consul in Philadelphia noted that the people who were most in favor of Bibi Netanyahu's speech were the right-wing of the Jewish community, Christian Zionists and the evangelical right. He candidly said, "they want to humiliate President Obama and this has nothing to do with Iran."
++Nancy Pelosi went on national television to say she hoped that the speech would be delayed.
++Every Israeli newspaper I've read today--and there were a few--covered the flap over the speech and the chaos it has caused among Democratic congressmen and women.
++One Israeli rabbi wrote an op-ed saying that Bibi is delusional if he thinks Republicans are going to be tougher on Iran than the Democrats.
++Civil rights icon and the lead in Selma, Congressman John Lewis said he was not attending the speech.
++I thought the Democrats were in disarray today over how to play the speech. Most said they would attend but didn't like it.
