Netanyahu Urges MKs to Back Initiative to Pass 2006 Budget

Excerpt;

“Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday morning urged lawmakers to support his initiative to pass the 2006 budget bill as soon as possible in a bid to help Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and ‘out of national responsibility.'”

How can the Budget be passed if Knesset has been disbanned?
Why would Bibi want to help Ehud Olmert 2 1/2 months before an election in which he ought to plugging to catch up in? “National Responsibility” — Baloney, sounds more like Bibi’s Macho Ego to this author! MB read more

This author is no great fan of Education Minister Limor Livnat. But the vicious attack upon her by aides of PM Sharon (who termed her demand for investigation of the Schlaf case was “metaphorically speaking, accessory to murder”) was uncalled for and seems emblematic of a prevailing Kadima spin; “EVERYONE ELSE is Responsible.”

PM Aides Blame Livnat for Worsening of His Health

Look at what this mindset has wrought regarding the police, the Justice System, the State Comptroller and the Likud, the former party of Sharon, of Olmert, HaNegbi, Mofaz, etc.; read more

Hospital: PM Breathing Independently

Excerpts;

“A senior neurosurgeon at Tel Hashomer’s Sheba Hospital told Ynet the latest report on Sharon is encouraging, but does not indicate movement or cognitive functioning.”

“‘Independent breathing is positive, but it does not indicate general functioning of the brain. Even in extensive brain damage, when a patient is defined as a ‘vegetable’, it is possible to breathe independently,’ he said.” read more
