"Because of Israel's political system, [Olmert] could serve until well into next year."
Here's a nice twist: the "news item" filled the lead world page of the Boston Globe. Nothing else on page A3. Yes, the AmeriKan MSM is Zionist-run and controlled, aren't they, when a nothing story is displayed so prominently?
It's almost as if Israeli politics are more important than America's to the AmeriKan MSM!!!!!!
:-(
"Olmert to resign as prime minister; Move puts Israeli politics in turmoil, Raises doubts about peace" by Mark Lavie, Associated Press | July 31, 2008
JERUSALEM - Facing burgeoning corruption allegations and plummeting popularity, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said yesterday that he will resign in September, throwing Israel into political turmoil.
But because of Israel's political system, he could serve until well into next year. An election campaign could extend into 2009. Olmert would remain in office until a new prime minister is chosen.
And I thought it was breaking news (blog author's face turning red).
Olmert's popularity dropped below 20 percent at one point after his bloody but inconclusive war in Lebanon in 2006.
Technically, they aren't lying, but I remember it being a lot lower than 20!!!
"His approval rating hovers around 3%."
Gotta love that Zionist AmeriKan MSM, don't you?
At least they called it HIS war!!!
The latest allegation was that Olmert double- and triple-billed trips abroad to Jewish institutions, pocketing the difference or financing trips for relatives. Other allegations include a shady real estate deal and questionable political appointments - all before he became premier.
And Olmert's defense was, "but every Israeli politician is this corrupt!"
The ultra-Orthodox Shas, another member of Olmert's coalition, traditionally exacts a huge price in budgets for its constituency, as well as pledges of legislation, before it joins a government.
Translation: a narrow slice of Zionist Jews control Israeli politics -- like in AmeriKa!!!!
Possibly hinting at his expectation of being in power for some time, Olmert pledged to work for peace "as long as I am in my position," and said talks with Palestinians and Syria are "closer than ever" to achieving understandings, agreements that long have eluded Israeli leaders.
Yeah, AS IF THEY WERE LOOKING FOR THEM!!!!!
PFFFFFFFTTT!!!
And WTF?!
Just last week he was saying no deals?!
What is with the CONSTANT LYING, you damn Zionists (that includes you, AmeriKan MSM)!?
