Look who is emerging as the voice of reason in Israel's political landscape. None other than the guy who seemed so eminently forgettable, that everybody thought would spend at least a couple of months behind bars for that corruption hanky-panky, Ehud Olmert.
Ehud is remaking himself as the voice of moderation. He is the phoenix rising from the dust-bin of history.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Ehud has no problem whatsoever with the Abbas gambit at the UN.
"We have to support the moderates" he says.
Well, no kidding! This is the most profound revelation to strike the Middle East since Saint Paul's vision on the road to Damascus... oh, probably an unfortunate metaphor at this moment in history...
But he is absolutely right.
That's why I don't really get the anti-PA line coming from Hillary and a few other adherents of the anti-Palestinian hard line.
If you can't make a deal with Abbas, you'll never make a deal with anybody.
Is there still time for him to put together a list for January?
