She, guys. The (former) opposition leader,Shelley Yacimovich is a she. She’s giving up the post of opposition leader back to Shaul Mofaz because Mofaz bolted the coalition (hard to explain. Israeli politics has a fair percentage of Lewis Caroll and Kafka in it). And while I, and a lot of people like her, more despite her (liberal) social policies than otherwise—she’s a decent and honest soul—her only previous experience is as a radio show host. And what’s left of the Labor faction that she heads is on the way out. It may have been rude to have stood her up but from a practical viewpoint, quite understandable considering how many people he’s trying to see in way too little time.
