I applaud the growing list (now over 50) of Democrat Senators and House members who have stated they will boycott Netanyahu's anti-Iranian, pro-war screed in the Capital tomorrow.
The problem with the boycott is that House Speaker Boehner has already announced that he will fill the empty seats with Republican House staffers to make sure the chamber is full.
So here's my suggestion: go to the House chamber at the appointed time for the speech, claim your seat, wait for Boehner to introduce Netanyahu, then stand up and walk out.
Not only are the optics much more impressive - the cameras won't be able to stay away from over 50 distinguished members stepping on Republican toes (literally and figuratively) as they file out of the chamber while Bibi and his buddy Boehner hold a 'who can get purpler faster contest, but I have a hard time envisioning Boehner halting Bibi's speech so that staffers can be ushered to the empty seats.
So if you're really wanting to make a point, Democrats - and why else are you boycotting the speech? - then don't just stay in your office..... make a splash!
Cheers.
