Israeli president asked Olmert to be next PM

Not sure who these people are but something tells me this is news.

Israeli President Moshe Katsav today formally chose Ehud Olmert to form Israel’s next government, and Olmert said he would work to quickly put together a coalition that was committed to carrying out his West Bank withdrawal plan.

That should be interesting. The Israeli pull out from Gaza went so well who wouldn't be looking forward to more pullouts.

Katsav said 78 members of Israel’s 120-member Knesset recommended that Olmert be chosen as the next prime minister. Olmert’s centrist Kadima Party won 29 seats in last week’s parliamentary elections, the most of any party.

Do you people know how hard it is to make fun of something when you have no fucking idea what it means? I mean, who the hell is Olmert? I had no idea there was even a President of Israel. And what's a Knesset? Israel's weird. I'm going back to bed. Wake me up if someone famous OD's.
