You Think President Bush Has Problems

Israeli president charged with rape. Haaretz:

Attorney General Menachem Mazuz decided Tuesday that President Moshe Katsav should face charges for alleged rape, sexual harassment, obstruction of justice, fraud and breach of trust. The sexual assault charges relate to the claims of four women who worked for Katsav during his terms as president and before that as a cabinet minister.

Katsav's attorney, David Libai, told reporters Tuesday that the president would fulfill his promise to the High Court of Justice and suspend himself until Mazuz issued a final decision on the matter.

Now remember, the Israeli president is a largely ceremonial position. He lives in a nice house, not far from where I once lived in Jerusalem. And he cuts a lot of ribbons and goes to a lot of funerals. But the power lies in the office of prime minister.
