Netanyahu And Palin? [Bibi is waiting for President Palin]

Peter Beinart makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up:

The Netanyahu government is filled with Americans. The prime minister himself attended high school in the Philadelphia suburbs. Ron Dermer, one of his closest advisors, was born in Miami Beach. His ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, hails from New Jersey. In addition, prominent Americans like Abrams regularly appear in the U.S. media to echo the Netanyahu line. But paradoxically, this familiarity breeds overconfidence and ignorance. When Netanyahu travels to Washington, he speaks before Jewish audiences that mostly dislike Barack Obama’s Israel policy, even though according to a recent American Jewish Committee survey, American Jews overall support it by a margin of close to two to one. When he’s not speaking to right-wing Jews, he’s speaking to right-wing Christians. And when he’s not speaking to right-wing Christians, he’s speaking to former Bush administration officials who expect to soon be back in their old jobs.

As an Obama official once told me about the Netanyahu team, with amazement, “these guys are actually waiting for President Palin.”

Of course they are. Then they get their war on against Iran and permanently occupy the West Bank. Remember Palin had one flag in her office beside the US one: Israel's. Remember also her position on the West Bank:

PALIN: I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don’t think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish settlements cannot expand.(continued)

He says it like it's a bad thing.

I’m waiting for it too....in fact I’m looking forward to it, GOD Willing! - Not the Arabic translation HAHA!

Oh this is the andrew sullivan they mock on red-eye. Never knew who he was. I love red-eye.

[jakerobins]

Aren’t we all?? Can’t wait for President Palin to be sworn in.....Then tune into MSNBC to watch all the anchors heads explode..LOL

[taildragger]

Not a bad thing at all....

But we had some comments on a thread going yesterday...

And those comments were that Bibi should invite her now for a visit, just to tweak Oboingo and get under his skin.

Better Yet, BiBi should visit her and Todd in Alaska!

The money quote: "Cheney, Palin and Netanyahu want their war back - with torture, pre-emptive attacks and every terrorist attack used to justify more aggression. And if you put the Christianist right back in the White House, this time purged even of the tincture of responsibility Bush inherited from his family, we have a world war on our hands.

To Sullivan it is a bad thing. Notice how the bad aggression is that imposed by Cheney, Palin and Netanyahu? And terrorist attacks are mentioned only to set up this point. Apparently, they're excusable aggression.

He says it like it's a bad thing.

Sure it's a bad thing, if you're a leftist anti-Semite.

As an Obama official once told me about the Netanyahu team, with amazement, “these guys are actually waiting for President Palin.”

That explains why Obama hates Bibi so much.

[toddausauras]

If she wins the presidency which is possible I will be getting cable once again and some popcorn.

[GRRRRR]

I just hope we can make it to November, and END the anti-capitalist attitude of the Obozo Admin.

Our economy can’t stand a full two and a half years of this filthy Kenyan.

"...an Obama official once told me about the Netanyahu team, with amazement, “these guys are actually waiting for President Palin.”

So are many of us, friend....

[bravo whiskey]

wish our government, esprcially the executive branch, state dept, and “leadership” in congress was filled with Americans.

[RichInOC]

I want her to run and win in part because when it does, that guy’s head’s going boom, live on national television.

[Argus]

PRESIDENT PALIN. I like the sound of that.

Andrew Sullivan is the same guy who has dreams of sucking on Al Gore’s schlong. He is one sick prick. He has had massive hate for Sarah Palin since the moment her name was announced as McCain’s running mate. He just hates her because she has a gorgeous husband and he probably has the hots for him. Sullivan should be in the same category as John Mark Karr..and yes, people in Israel(I have family there) all would LOVE a President Palin

[unseen1]

a majority of Americans are waiting for President Palin

[unseen1]

she is going on a visit this Fall after the elections to Europe and Israel

[dforest]

I would rather have Palin as president, but where are the polls that prove a majority are waiting for Palin?

[unseen1]

Its his mommy issues surfacing. andrew can not stand a strong woman. His mother must have beat him when he was a child. Strong women tend to scare liberals. the Oedipus complex on full view for the world to see

"Peter Beinhart HAS to be gay....so is Andrew...so what is making Andrew’s hair stand up???"

My guess is the answer is probably best portrayed in the movie Something About Mary.
