David Ignatius on Iran Bill: White House Abandoned John Kerry ‘Like a Beached Whale’

‘The White House counted the votes and they realized they were getting clobbered’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

SCARBOROUGH: "I guess what I'm saying is the White House sort of hung him out to drive. They shouldn't have had him -- 
IGNATIUS: "They reversed course as late as 11:30 John Kerry was saying we really need you to vote against this. The White House counted the votes and they realized they were getting clobbered. So they turned course and left Kerry looking like a beached whale, frankly, defending the position they have abandoned him. We now have a rare 19-0 bipartisan vote supporting a bill the president didn't want to see and realized he had no alternative."
