Slip of the tongue

Only two days after his primary victory, Bibi shows his true colors. In hi def.

New Likud chairman Binyamin Netanyahu delayed the Likud's Knesset elections by six days on Wednesday to allow him to take the legal steps necessary to oust right-wing activist Moshe Feiglin from the party.


The Likud central committee was set to elect the party's Knesset slate on January 3. Netanyahu delayed the election to January 9, because he wanted to first hold a vote on preventing anyone with a conviction from running for Knesset with the party, a vote that required two weeks notice.

"There will not be room in our party for corruption and extremist lawbreaking," Netanyahu told the Likud faction. "Our party will work to restore its image to the good old days of Menachem Begin."

Ah, yes, "the good old days." Begin must be spinning in his grave.

You see, while Feiglin isn't exactly my cup of tea, the first few times I read this article, I could have sworn it said that Bibi wanted to prevent "anyone with conviction" from running on the Likud ticket. And I still think that's a more accurate reflection of his agenda.
