Originally I thought this was off The Onion. Then I thought the picture was snapped in a momentary lapse of judgement. It's sadly not.

Sadly enough, he was not first. The POTUS already tried here: http://www.willthomas.net/911/Bush/Bush_Is_Nuts.htm

...I wasn't sure where to put this, but upon this seemed a likely spot...


Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found drunk and naked apart from bondage gear (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6441461.stm)

Reports say he was able to identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth.

A foreign ministry official described Ambassador Tzuriel Refael's behaviour as an unprecedented embarrassment.

The incident, which happened two weeks ago, has renewed calls for a radical overhaul of the way Israel appoints and promotes its diplomats.

San Salvador was Mr Refael's first post as ambassador. He was promoted in 2006 from a technical position in the ministry which had involved several foreign postings....

Great Stuff Jed !!!!

I really like this comment:


He was being recalled, although he had not broken any laws, foreign ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel told reporters.

I've never seen a diplomat with a rubber ball in his mouth. Perhaps 'they' swallow :cool:

So you can't really fault the defense minister for the capped binoculars. Who knows what he was looking at.:D
