"Bright? He's a common ignorant slob. He don't even speak good English."

Ha'aretz has an interesting article today about Amir Peretz not wanting to go to America to speak.

"Jewish activists close to the Labor Party leadership said yesterday that several of Peretz's advisers are in favor of a New York visit prior to the elections. However, Peretz does not think it is a good idea."

I wonder why???

Do you think it has to do with his excellent linguistic abilities in English???? (see Jameel's article last Sunday about this)

How can the leader of a prominant political party in Israel (a western country) not even feel that it is important for him to try and improve his spoken (or transliterated for that matter) English?

Today's political world is ruled by media and English is the language predominantly used to communicate in the world.

How many Israeli or Mongolian Physics professors will write articles in Hebrew or Mongolian? None, because in their field of work, and in all hard sciences for that matter, all scientists in that field need to understand their findings, so English was chosen as the language of research in theses fields.

It would be nice to see Amir converse with George W. (Strategery)

Now, many people can look at my post and think that I'm being racist against a Sephardi, but taht would be wrong. I'm not saying that this needs to be a standard for everyone in the world, just for people who have the potential of leading a country.

A side note:
With this post, I have implemented a new method of choosing a title for my posts. I will use obscure quotes from movies. lets see how many of u can guess what movie the quote is from.

Thanks for reading.....
