Bruce Wolman, who is taking over the mental-rock-breaking labors of this site today, notes that three American congressmen, Gary Ackerman, Brad Sherman, and Eliot Engel, all think that the new Netanyahu government is great, per Haaretz.
Meanwhile, Lieberman had his first meeting with Israeli diplomats. If only they were as easy to convince as the US Congressmen. Haaretz again:
The ceremony was attended by dozens of diplomats, many of whom registered discernible shock at the messages of the new minister that they will soon have to sell abroad. Livni violated protocol by speaking up and contradicting her successor, saying that actually Israel was indeed committed to the Annapolis process. After Lieberman ended his remarks, Livni told him: "You've convinced me that I was right not to join the government."
Richard Silverstein has been on this and typically gets it right: He may be a fascist, but he's our fascist!
