Livni v. Palin

I just think it is interesting to compare the background of Tzipi Livni, who may become Prime Minister of Israel very soon, with that of Pit Bull with Lipstick.
Here's her bio From the Foreign Affairs Ministry (the caps are mine):

Tzipi Livni was born in Israel in 1958. She served as an officer in the IDF, and later in the Mossad.
SO MUCH HOTTER THAN BEING A HOCKEY MOM.

A lawyer by profession, Livni received her law degree from Bar-Ilan University, and practiced law in a private firm for ten years before entering public life. Her fields of specialization included commercial law, constitutional law and real estate law.

In 1999, Mrs. Livni was first elected to the Knesset, and served as a member of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, and the Committee on the Status of Women. She also served as the chairperson of the subcommittee responsible for legislation of the Prevention of Money Laundering Law.

In 2001, Mrs. Livni was appointed Minister in the 29th Government and held the Regional Cooperation and Agriculture Portfolios. In the 30th Government, established in 2003, she held the following portfolios: Immigrant Absorption, Housing and Construction, Justice and Foreign Affairs.

Prior to her election to the Knesset, Livni served as Director General of the Government Companies Authority from 1996. In this capacity, she was in charge of the privatization of government corporations and monopolies.

Livni was a member of the Likud Party until the end of 2005, when she, together with other prominent political figures in Israel, formed the Kadima Party. (A BIT LESS TO THE RIGHT)

In May 2006 Tzipi Livni was appointed Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in the 31st Government of Israel. She also served as Minister of Justice from November 2006 until February 2007.

She is married and the mother of two children.

That is a stateswoman. A woman fit for high office. Not the cosmic bad joke we have on our hands right now.
