QUOTE OF THE DAY….From Judah Grunstein, commenting on Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s legal troubles:

I don’t know a whole lot about Israeli campaign finance laws, but I imagine that suitcases full of cash that go undeclared until a police raid on your home probably violate them.

I dunno. Olmert sure doesn’t seem to think so.
