Just when you thought it couldn't get worse
There is another asshole Lieberman loose in the world and bound to cause a great deal of pain and suffering.
Last year, he suggested publicly that Egypt’s president “go to hell.” In the Israeli parliamentary elections, to be held Tuesday, he is running on a vow to require Arab citizens to sign a loyalty oath. As his campaign slogan asserts with a sly wink at Jewish voters, Avigdor Lieberman “knows how to speak Arabic.”And just like our asshole Lieberman, he looks like he will be in the position to make a winner or a loser. Does anyone need anymore proof that there is no God?
Mr. Lieberman does not know Arabic and will not, by all polls and predictions, become the next prime minister. But his popularity has been climbing so steeply that his party is now expected to come in third, making him a likely power broker with an explosive and apparently resonant political message: Israel is at risk not only from outside but also from its own Arab population.
