2. Banana Republic
Richard ,   London UK   (05.09.08)
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has denied taking bribes from a wealthy Jewish-American businessman, resisting calls for his resignation. Mr Olmert admitted Moshe Talansky gave donations for past election campaigns, but insisted at a news conference "I never took a penny for myself". New York-based financial Morris "Moshe" Talansky is said to have given hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash to Mr Olmert at a series of meetings in the 1990s. The Talansky contributions were towards two mayoral campaigns for Jerusalem, one campaign for chairman of the Likud Party and another to cover campaign debt retroactively, according to the prime minister. "I never took bribes, I never took a penny for myself," he said in a televised statement to the press on Thursday night.
3. The big question is why 15 years later?
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (05.09.08)
With all of the investigations and accusations over the past year, why does this come up now? What brings a man to confess that he tried to (and possibly succeeded in) bribing an official 15 years later? And like the various claims against the former President, why do it after the statute of limitations has run out? Both cases smell of political motivations over a need or sense of justice.
4. G-d bless Talansky :)

5. This sounds like a frameup of Mr. Olmert to me.

Ohhh, that big bad wolf Olmert "might HUUUrrrt me," the accuser says. More likely, the accuser is trying to hurt Mr. Olmert after not getting something he wanted. When someone contributes to a campaign thinks it is a bribe and doesn't get what he/she wants, they twist the contribution into a bribe scenario. That is one reason why the government should finance campaigns from a one per cent involuntary tax on the income tax forms. Poor ol' Hillary Clinton is being attacked and accused of taking contributions by fraud from a disappointed donor. A trial in the Los Angeles area of the Clintons on fraud charges is expected to begin this year. You should have seen the German woman Inge Mingus who falsely accused me of threatening to kill her every day for 16 years when I had been out of the country for four months and had only lived in California for 5 years and did not know where she lived or what her car looked like. She hated me because she thought I was a Jew and had a policeman pal try to kill me on my front porch in December 2006. In court, she cringed over like an old crone pointing and screeching, "She's going to kill me, She's going to kill me. I'm scared." It was all lies, just like this scoundrel is lying about Mr. Olmert. I don't like Mr. Olmert's policies, but false accusers are manure in my opinion.
