Chris Matthews Freaks Out: Netanyahu Attempted a Coup in Congress

[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews escalated his rage over Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress, Tuesday, hinting that the Israeli prime minister delivered what amounts to a coup. Appearing on his cable network for analysis, Matthews darkly warned, "This man from a foreign government walked into the United States legislative chamber and tried to take over U.S. foreign policy."  Angered by the address, the cable anchor called the speech "shocking" and blamed both Netanyahu as well as Republicans: "They went into the U.S. Congress to take over U.S. foreign policy today from the President. It's a remarkable day when the leaders of the opposition in Congress allowed this to happen." Speaking of a speech by the leader of one of America's closest allies, Matthews wondered, "What country in the world would let a foreign leader come in and attempt to wrest from the President control of U.S. foreign policy?"
