#2 An IQ of 150 - that's about average for an Israeli, no?

#4 Tzipi was not an office girl, said an acquaintance. She was a clever woman with an IQ of 150. She blended in well in European capitals, working with male agents, most of them ex-commandos, taking out Arab terrorists.

Livni has never talked about her years with Mossad, but a glimpse of the nature of the work was given by her closest female partner on European assignments. The risks were tangible, said Mira Gal, who became head of her ministerial office. If I made a mistake the result would be arrest and catastrophic political implications for Israel.

Livni, a married mother of two, has enjoyed a meteoric rise in Israeli politics since she became an MP in 1999.

Her career was forged in the violent creation of Israel. Both her parents were arrested for terrorist crimes in the 1940s. Her mother Sarah, who died recently aged 85, was a leader of Irgun, the militant Zionist group that operated in Palestine at the time of the British mandate and whose exploits included train robbery.

>:) "My Mom robbed a Train"!

God Gawd, No easy road for Tzipi Livni. She served her Nation on hard assignments!

Someone with more than just 'talking-head-syndrome'. If only all our Presidential Candidates had such bona-fides.

#8 I hang around really smart people, Barbara. I've watched some of them sometimes get to stupid at near light speed. ;-)

#10 Frank G, it's called the Bozone. Some people are encapsulated by an invisible field that doesn't let intelligent thought enter or exit. It is populated by particles known as Bozons and Morons. These particles are sometimes able to escape the "Bozosphere" and the individuals are then able to be identified as Morons or Bozos. They are different in that Bozos exhibit a clownish nature and Morons are just plain Stupid.
