Green Leaf party embraces hot lesbians, polls show the people agree

With the elections less than three weeks away (yawn)I find myself growing more ill by the day. The slogans, the ads, the billboards, it’s just too much. Find me a party that is socially liberal, fiscally somewhat conservative, in support of unilateral withdrawals (except for Gush Eztion and Ariel) and isn’t corrupt. Tafnit maybe? They don’t really don’t have a chance though.

At the very least I’ve been enjoying watching the election commercials. They are always a trip and the Green Leaf party once again didn’t disappoint. They’ve come a long way since the days of supporters waving an Israeli flag and dancing to a trance rendition of the national anthem. Once again the polls are pointing that the pro-marijuana party is poised to make it into the Knesset and I’m sure this commercial supporting secular and gay marriage only brought them more supporters. When was the last time you heard of a political party using hot lesbians to garner votes? Actually, Howard Stern running for governor of NY in the mid-nineties comes to mind…

Anyway, check it out…

I was all set to vote for Green Leaf until candidate Shlomi Sendak told the Jerusalem Post that he would negotiate with Hamas. Sorry, can’t support the party after a comment like that regardless of how much I agree with their other “aspirations”.

Reading that AP story about the party made me realize how stupid some of our fucking leaders can be. Former Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom had this gem of a quote:

“legalizing drugs is insane. It starts with a cigarette, leads to a joint and ends with cocaine.”

Cigarettes is the new gateway drug! Who would have thought?
