For the edification of others on this thread of your pal Bibi Netanyahu and his womanizing ways. Maybe someone should put Bibi under oath and see what shakes out:

[FROM THE DETROIT FREE PRESS]

Netanyahu's rise in Israeli politics has been meteoric

By Hilary Appelman / Associated Press
JERUSALEM -- American-educated, telegenic, and with scant experience in public office, Benjamin Netanyahu became
a major player in Israeli politics virtually overnight.

Netanyahu, known as "Bibi," was elected to parliament for the first time in 1988 and quickly rose to the Likud Party
leadership.

If the Israeli election's vote count is confirmed, Netanyahu, at 46, would be the country's youngest prime minister, and he
stands out sharply from Israel's traditional politicians and party insiders.

Admirers and critics alike describe him as an ambitious, driven perfectionist. He is a voracious reader and has written two
books on international politics, and he idolizes Winston Churchill. But he is plagued by a reputation for superficiality, in
part because of his penchant for speaking in 10-second sound bites and flair for American-style politicking.

Steered by American campaign strategist Arthur Finkelstein in this election, Netanyahu pounded home his message: Peres'
policies were eroding Israelis' security.

****

Netanyahu's smooth public persona is marred by the messy details of his personal life: He has been married three times
and in 1993 stunned Israelis by admitting on prime-time television that he had had an extramarital affair. Netanyahu said he
went public because opponents inside his party planned to blackmail him with a videotape of his extramarital affair -- but
no evidence of such a video ever materialized.
