Senile Leaky Leahy, most senior senator, to skip Netanyahu speech .......................................................................................... By DONNA CASSATA http://news.yahoo.com/leahy-most-senior-senator-skip-netanyahu-speech-161356508--politics.html WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate's most senior lawmaker said Tuesday he will skip the Israeli prime minister's speech to Congress next month on Iran, calling the invitation by Republicans without White House consultation a "tawdry and high-handed stunt." Seven-term Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont joined a half dozen Democrats who have decided to boycott Benjamin Netanyahu's speech, which comes in middle of delicate negotiations involving the United States, Western powers and Iran over its nuclear program."The unfortunate way that House leaders have unilaterally arranged this, and then heavily politicized it, has demolished the potential constructive value of this joint meeting," Leahy said in a statement. "They have orchestrated a tawdry and high-handed stunt that has embarrassed not only Israel but the Congress itself." Democrats have complained that the speech is an affront to President Barack Obama, who has said he will not meet with Netanyahu when he visits the United States and who said Monday that he has "very real differences" with the Israeli leader over Iran and sanctions. Vice President Joe Biden also will miss the speech, citing unspecified travel plans. A half dozen Jewish House Democrats, angered by the developments, met privately last week with Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer and pressed for Netanyahu to find an alternative format for speaking to lawmakers other than a speech to a joint meeting in the House chamber. Leahy joins Vermont's other senator, Independent Bernie Sanders, who said on Monday he would skip the speech. ___ Associated Press writers Alan Fram and Matthew Daly contributed to this report.
