The Times called him "good look(ing) and suave." He's a prominent journalist. He hosts a popular television show. So did Rush Limbaugh before focusing on radio. Other rogue talking heads replaced him on TV.
The Times praised a man deserving condemnation. He's a "notorious wannabe," said Haaretz. He's a ne'er-do-well. He lacks a high school education. He gets his facts wrong. He combines bravado and kitsch.
He calls himself the "ultimate Israeli." He crafted an all-Israeli image. He elevated himself by befriending Israeli elites. His jump to politics was an overnight sensation. He substitutes catch phrases for substance.
His speeches asked rhetorical questions. He focused on "change," "hope," and "new politics." Explanations, clarifications, and specifics didn't follow.
He models himself after Obama. He's more con man than legitimate. He's more image and mirage than real. Sub-surface, he's shallow. When asked tough questions, he ducks them.
He hopes one day to be prime minister. Israelis will have final say. Going forward, they've already got a great enough cross to bear.
