The Palin of Israel (Orly Levy)

Never mind Benjamin Netanyahu and Tzipi Livni. Israelis are chattering about the candidacy of Orly Levy, a 35-year-old former fashion model running for Parliament from the state's hard-right Israel Beitenu party. Local wags have made quick work of her thin résumé, and even Levy herself admits, "I have no political experience at all." Some Israelis are amused. "This would be like Paris Hilton going to the Senate," says filmmaker Etgar Keret. "You could make a reality show about this."
A scary one: according to the latest polls, Levy's ultranationalist party is surging, and could win as many as 18 seats in Israel's Knesset on Tuesday. Led by Russian émigré Avigdor Lieberman, the party has capitalized on Israel's bellicose post-war mood to snatch votes from both hawks like Netanyahu and doves like Livni. Lieberman probably won't get enough votes to be prime minister. Yet the populist may well be a kingmaker—good news for Levy, who is high on Lieberman's list for parliamentary seats.

The article (ignore the typical newsweek bias) is from February, but I am surprised this wasn't posted on FR.
Right-wing and totally not guilty!
Of course she can't compare politically to our Sarah, but it's noteworthy that somehow the beauties are never on the left... LOL.

Any comparison between someone who admits to having "no political experience at all" and the most popular governor in America is superficial in the extreme.

If Mrs. NavyCanDo is reading this, this woman is talented, well spoken, educated, a true leader, and a distinguished citizen.
For the rest of you - She is also drop-dead gorgeous, and I'm talking HOT!

A scary one: according to the latest polls, Levy's ultranationalist party is surging lol.. what bias? Newsweek actually admitted it was no longer in the business of straight news but of telling its audience what to think.

Anyone remember our own GOP beauty Diana Irey? Went up against Murtha a couple of years back. Many of us, I included contributed to her campaign. The first out of state candidate I ever contributed money to.
