I feel sorry for Labor/Zionist Unioin chief Yitzchak “Buji” Herzog. I really do.
Here he is sitting on Rina Matzliach’s Meet the Press show, with someone feeding him lines on his earpiece, and then Netanyahu, who did not initially even know that Herzog was in the studio beats Buji hands-down in an unexpected debate (unexpected for Netanyahu, at least).
But that wasn’t the end of Herzog’s humiliation.
Rina then (quite rudely too) kicks Herzog out of the studio during the impromptu debate she set up. I found her tone nasty and condescending.
And Herzog capitulates without a word!
His sour face said enough, as he actually got up and left without saying another word – as ordered!
If Herzog capitulates so easily to a mere talking head, when he is actually in the middle of his dream debate with the Prime Minister, what is going to happen when he has to face off with real opponents like Obama, Abbas, and his partner Tzipi Livni.
Every Israeli must see this video and realize that Buji Herzog must not become the Prime Minister of Israel.
UPDATE: I was told that Herzog was told to leave because legally candidates have to have equal face time on TV, and he had his time before. If he had stayed on it would have gone into Bibi’s time and Channel 2 would have had legal problems. Still. Doesn’t change what we just saw.
