Daniel Kurtzer, the former U.S. ambassador to Israel, said on Tuesday that a government led by Benjamin Netanyahu that also included Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman would be a "bad combination for American interests." Story here.

Besides being distasteful, interfering in another country's democratic process is nothing short of CHUTZPAH.

Add to that idiotic comments like "the Israeli system doesn't respond well to perceptions of outside parties" (and the American system does?!) and voilà, you've got what it takes to become a foreign policy advisor/envoy for the new President of the U.S.
