Disgusted With Democrats |

I wrote this commentary first thing this morning on my weblog to blow off steam. I'm still pissed, so I'll share.

Leftist Israeli Commentary On Sharon Government's Reshuffle |
by Yoel Marcus / Haaretz via gehrig (No verified email address) |
Current rating: 0 05 Nov 2002

A leftist perspective on Sharon's call for elections: "the economy is collapsing and Sharon has blown it as prime minister. For the good of the state, we need early elections, and fast. On the other hand, who wants Bibi back in power?" Also contains an interesting comment on the Israeli equivalent of campaign soft money. |
