Comatose Government

March 18, 2008 - 3:30 PM by

Israel’s government can be a wonderful source of fodder material even on an extreme writer’s block day.

Because as Israellycool puts it, “You can’t make this stuff up”:

A group of Knesset members has signed a petition calling on President Shimon Peres to pardon Omri Sharon, the corrupt son of former PM Ariel Sharon who is serving a 7-month jail sentence for lying under oath, filing false affidavits, and violating campaign laws.

Their main argument? The sentence will prevent Omri from being at his comatose father’s side, causing father to lose hope which may, in turn, shorten his life.

That rationale makes you want to run right out and commit a whole handful of crimes.

    3. Every man deserved to be at the bedside of his father during his fathers last days on earth. Let Omri see his father
