If US Senator Robert Menendez was an Arab Politician ...

... US Secretary of State John Kerry would be bursting blood vessels in his head as he fulminated against Menendez for "attacking his own people" and "holding the population of his country hostage to hunger."

But since he's a US Senator, threatening to send American children to bed hungry if he doesn't get his way is just par for the course.

Unfortunately for both Menendez and Kerry, but fortunately for Edward Snowden and for Americans who like broccoli, Ecuador's government has called their bluff -- and offered to send $23 million to Washington for use in educating American politicians on how to not be  fascist pigs.

I doubt $23 million is even close to enough, unless it's spent on rope.
