First, our illustrious Prime Minister Googlebombed. Then, he’s ridiculed in the international press for having plastic surgery.

Olmert is known to be conscious about his image, favoring expensive suits and flashy ties. He is a fitness freak who jogs and works out regularly. About a decade ago, he had laser eye surgery to remove the spectacles he wore early on in his career. And recently, he cut off his trademark comb-over, emulating the example of his good friend Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York.

Channel 2 news opened its Sunday evening broadcast with news of surgery, which Olmert had initially kept secret. Since former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s massive stroke a year ago, many in government and the media had been demanding more disclosure from their leaders about their medical status.

Monday’s papers were filled with news of the procedure, coupled with before and after pictures of Olmert. One headline read: “Olmert’s eyelids raise eyebrows.”
