For Bibi fans, plus folks who miss the daily pictures of President Bush, here are some sweet pictures of Bibi from yesterday at his brother's memorial service. There was also a bit of a protest outside the memorial by Sara's brother, who feels that trading Gilad Shalit for hundreds of filthy terrorists would be contrary to what Yoni worked for in Entebbe.

Thanks!

That was such a fine, daring operation. Those commandos were the best.

bambi comes from a genetic pool that has never performed with such sacrifice and nobility to serve others.
Never.

One of the few places I missed during my 3 months in Israel.
Please add me to your Ping List (after a moment of silence for Yoni).

BiBi is still a big man - bet he can still be effective on the battlefield.

I don’t want to sound mean, but in that picture Bibi looks like he is thinking, “How did this dolt get to be President?”

[ExTexasRedhead]

I would trade for Bibi in a New York second! He’s a true leader whereas the other joke is a national disgrace.

Remember the look VP Cheney gave O at the inauguration? The “I know who you are, and I know what you are” look? This picture of Bibi reminds me of that.
