In the world of mules.....

If it wouldn't be for the unwritten code here at Dr. Greunkern against using obscene language in our posts, I would have spiced up this piece with what I really think of Ehud Olmert. Restrained as I am by the aforementioned protocol from giving full range to my vocabulary, I will use the strongest terms I possibly can in describing this caricature of a decent human being.

"Jerk" and "fool" don't seem to carry enough punch. Pompous, bombastic, blustering, self-inflated, hubristic jerk is a bit better.

What, you may ask, engenders this kind of description? (Remember, this is a euphemism)

Read this, or in synopsis, this is what happened. Olmert has claimed that Condoleeza Rice was going to vote in favor of the security council's resolution calling for a cease fire. He further claims that he dragged President Bush, who was making a speech, off the podium to take his call by demanding to speak with him immediately. Mr. Bush is a humble man and probably did take his call even though he was in front of an audience at the time. The purpose of Olmert's call was to order President Bush to order Ms. Rice to abstain in the security council. Ms. Rice claims that the story is a fabrication and that she meant to abstain all along.

Regardless of the truth in this matter - and I tend to believe the Secretary of State against a known liar and slimy and corrupt politician - someone should point out to this boastful, fatheaded braggart that currently, the only nation completely supporting Israel in its Gaza adventure is the United States. Someone should also let him know, if the information can even penetrate the mush he has for brains, that you don't deliberately insult the only ally you have even if your purpose is to publicly aggrandize yourself.

A new administration is due to take over the United States in less than a week. If you were the new secretary of state, how much of a limb would you climb onto for this weasel and his country if you could expect such embarrassment as your reward?

It's amazing that Israel, full of educated and intelligent people chose such a clueless stupid boastful moron to be their leader. Even more amazing is that he is still in power after the criminal botching of the Lebanon war.
