I bet George wishes he could fire his opponents, too.
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon fired two conservative cabinet ministers today, which is expected to create a narrow majority for himself when the remaining ministers vote on the Israeli leader's plan to withdraw fully from the Gaza Strip.Mr. Sharon sent a messenger to deliver dismissal notices to two far-right members of the National Union Party, Avigdor Lieberman and Benny Elon, after they failed to answer a summons to meet with his him in his office this morning. The dismissals will take effect in 48 hours; the vote is scheduled for Sunday.
As the Church Lady says, "How conveeeenient!" I haven't really been keeping up to date on Sharon's Gaza plan and what the people of Israel feel about it, but what kind of a message does that send?
