Opposition leader and Zionist Union party chief Yitzhak Herzog has announced he is suspending unity government talks with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, after the premier issued an invitation to begin talks with Yisrael Beytenu party head Avigdor Liberman.

Nobody takes this nerd/turd seriously...
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Bougie takes himself seriously. So does Tzippy. So do some Zionist Union MKs. So does the MSM and O.

So it goes...
The problem is, they only say the word. If they spelled it out, it would be p-i-e-c-e.
Gosh, does this mean Netanyahu's gov't is finished? ;') Thanks Eleutheria5.
Whenever that happens, let’s have elections, and let Beit Yisrael and Bayit Yehudi beef up their lists. I have a feeling they’ll need it. Just because he’s hated by the left doesn’t mean Bibi’s really right wing. Israel will survive after he’s gone.
I sure thought this article was going to be about Whitey Herzog and Joe Lieberman. I could not get the connection.
Then I decided (unFReeper like) to actually read the article. Liberman and Lieberman are spelled differently too.
I oughta start reading more than just the head line, I might learn more that way.
Naaah.
