Politicians can really surprise you with their lack of cerebral expeditioucity sometimes. I would say that politicians' mental aptitude is already suspect the moment they choose politics over a real career direction. Being a politician is the closest one can come to living in a real - life soap opera. I mean, once you leave high school. I don’t know if I agree with you , Moishe.

She has done things like <a href="http://www.pmw.org.il/Bulletins_Feb2007.htm" rel="nofollow">introduce Itamar Marcus</a> on the floor of the Senate and show <a href="http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-+Obstacle+to+Peace/Memorial/2002/2/Sgt-Maj-res-+Yochai+Porat.htm" rel="nofollow">support for MDA</a>. The cynic in me says that she did those things because it was politically expedient to do so as Senator from NY. Still she has gone beyond simply voting pro-Israel and joining non-controversial resolutions in support of Israel.
