OLMERT GETS COSMETIC SURGERY

Olmert Gets Cosmetic Surgery (NYSun)
"Ehud Olmert raised eyebrows in Israel by getting unannounced cosmetic surgery. The Israeli prime minister underwent eyelid reconstruction upon his return from China last Friday, but the side effects were still visible by Sunday’s weekly Cabinet meeting," the JTA reports.

“Don’t be alarmed by my swollen eyes,” the heavily made-up Olmert told fellow ministers. Israeli media filed queries with Olmert’s office on whether the chief executive’s unannounced procedure violated protocol, only to be told that as the
surgery was not life-threatening and the prime minister not incapacitated, he had no obligation to report it beforehand.

Now that he's fixed his face, how about his policies?

Meantime, the Jerusalem Post reports:

State Prosecutor Eran Shendar ordered police on Tuesday to launch a criminal investigation against Prime Miniser Ehud Olmert for his alleged interference in
the tender for the state's controlling interest in Bank Leumi, Channel 10 reported.
