First a war criminal for aprime minister now a rapist as President.

JERUSALEM - Israel"™s attorney-general recommended Tuesday that President Moshe Katsav be indicted on charges of rape and abuse of power, a stunning accusation against the country"™s ceremonial head of state.
A final decision on the indictment would be made only after a hearing, where Katsav could present his case.
Katsav has denied the charges stemming from complaints made by several women who worked for him during his tenure as president and, before that, as a Cabinet minister.

Israel has both a President and a Prime Minister? How odd for a parliamentary system.

The president is basically a figure head, maybe they get some extra aid from the USA for having one.

yes but the question remains, did he really get some ?

A lot of parliamentary governments have a prime minister and president. The president is almost always just a figurehead, representing the government in ceremonies and such.

There was recently a prison guard here in Ohio charged with rape. Apparently, he was giving women inmates cigarettes in exchange for bumping uglies with him. I guess that the term is acquiring a much broader meaning, so i wonder just what the Pres. did do over there[:-]
