He's also the first Israeli politician to be accused of any sexual misconduct since Israel's founding in 1948.

Not trying to defend the guy by any means. But if you're going to compare Israeli politicians to ours in terms of sexual misconduct, well... looks like they've got the edge there.

There has yet to be a four year period where the USA hasn't had a political scandal of some sort.

This is not the only scandal going on in their government....

Olmert questioned over home purchase

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with two representatives of the state comptroller at his residence in Jerusalem, and attempted to resolve questions over the purchasing of an apartment on Cremieux Street in the capital. The Prime Minister's Office said the meeting lasted 45 minutes.

State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss is investigating suspicions that the purchase was carried out illegally. The state comptroller's office confirmed that a meeting was held between an investigation team and Olmert.

Earlier, the chief aide to the government's legal advisor, lawyer Raz Nazri, wrote that "the complaint against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, regarding the reception of bribery in the real estate deal has been transferred to the state prosecutor for an initial check."




and the Justice Minister....


Court may remand man who posted name of Ramon's accuser on site

The Tel Aviv Magistrate's court will decide on Wednesday whether to release from custody the owner of a Web site that allegedly revealed the name of a complainant who said MK Haim Ramon sexually harassed her.

YAY, don't US citizens have enough of our own political issues? Don't think anyone really cares about home purchases and allegations of corruption in a foreign government. The USA has enough of its own.
