Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Speaker of the House John Boehner (R, OH)

Here in the American Conservative, TAC founding editor Scott McConnell looks at the lunacy of Mark Kirk’s (Republican, Illinois) comment about “a mushroom cloud near Tehran” and John McCain’s equally quack comment about Israel going rogue and attacking Iran.
