Even you Peres haters have to admit that he’s the most qualified sentient being in the known universe. The job of the President is to serve as Israel’s public face – Peres is on a first name basis with more world leaders than Colette Avital knows. Even the party he abandoned is admitting that he’s the top choice:
Labor faction chair Yoram Marciano said on Monday he believes party legislators will endorse Vice Premier Shimon Peres of Kadima for president, and not Labor MK Colette Avital. Marciano has told Avital repeatedly over the last few months that the faction would back her. But he recently met with Peres and promised to remove her from the race. “What can I do? Peres is more qualified than she is to be president,” Marciano told Channel 2.
Oh, and he hasn’t raped anybody lately. That sharply distinguishes him from the Presidential candidates that the Israeli right has supported recently. We’re not sayin’, we’re just sayin’…
