    What disturbs me most

    is not that Lieberman is a complete Middle East hawk, and embarrassingly close to Christian evangelicals who only love Jews and Israel as a means to an end. This we have known for a long time now.

    It's that Lieberman, a most literate and educated man, would let the phrase "Eesh Elo Kim" go out under his letterhead. (It's "Elokim" - one word.)

    Sorry for the nitpicking, but this nit was too big to ignore.
