Israel has their own version of Sarah Palin. And no that is not a term of endearment.

Courtesy of the Daily Beast:

The most powerful woman in Israel’s ruling Likud party has just moved into a trailer. Knesset member Miri Regev, the party’s attack dog and the closest thing Israel has to Sarah Palin, boarded the mobile home—attached to an Audi SUV—last week ready to crisscross the country campaigning for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a man who never wanted her to be the face of the party to so many Israelis. 

She admits that the trailer, decorated with the Likud’s blue colors and emblazoned with her face, is a gimmick, but it’s one that fits her well. She is, after all, the queen of media stunts—and a frequent object of mockery by Israeli journalists and satirists.

Well I think comparing her to Sarah Palin is a bit much, I mean does she really have that much in common with Klondike Kardashian?  

Regev is one of the only Israeli politicians who could pull off such a stunt. The soon-to-be-50-year-old mother of three, fifth on the Likud list, is an outspoken politician who embodies a flag-waving, gung-ho brand of Zionism, and a folksy, sneering attitude towards the Israeli Left and the country’s media elites.

Well okay, that sounds about right then. 

I love this kind of thing.

Once Palin was seriously whispered about as a serious potential presidential candidate in 2012.

But these days she is almost exclusively used as the punchline to a joke or as the barometer for measuring bad politicians.

    No doubt Palin is trying to hook up with her and the trailer trash routine. I'd be shocked if she isn't trying to get over there now. Palin is the world's biggest opportunist.

    Miss Teen South Carolina Sarah Palin.
    Australia Sarah Palin.
    Israel Sarah Palin.

    There's your worldwide celebrity, $arah. "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it." Worldwide laughing stock, but that's okay as long as you get the attention and free money, right? It's called "whore," honey, have a nice day.

    This needs to be shouted from the rooftops...or perhaps not.... Let's think about this: as long as tea party supporters give their money to the SarahPacs out there then there is little chance that those dollars can do anything except pay for the Sarah Palin's of the country to fly on private jets and stay in first-class hotels. http://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2015/02/conservative-con-artistry

      She's the modern day Judas. Considering it is officially the season of Lent, it's totally appropriate to mention that fact.

    "Sarah Palin" - international punchline, universal joke.

    Gee Sarah, you have finally excelled at something
    - being the Object of Ridicule
    - being the Focus of Being Laughed At
    - being the Epitome of a Derogatory Slur

    You were right when you said: "We'll never be good enough . . ."

      There, Screechy. There it is. There's your legacy. And your epitaph.

      Happy now?

    She sounds like $arah Palin in terms of being pushy, racist, and being an uncaring and ignorant fool.

    However, from reading the article, it came out that she did retire from the Israeli Army as a one star General, serving for 25 years, which is a hell of a lot more than quitter/loser $arah has ever done.

    She also is currently in politics as a member of the Israeli parliament, has a real job, and doesn't run away from interviews from people who don't agree with her.

    Yes, she is a spiteful bitch, so that must be conceded!

    By contrast, Palin is nothing more now than a D List celebutard, a wannabe Hollywood Granny starlet, and a grifting , racist, bomb throwing fugly clothes horse.

    It is the height of hypocrisy for Quiiter Queen to go to the SNL 40, hobnob with all the people she spits on, and brag to the hecklers outside that she is in "show business"

    $arah has now attained her dream, of having what she thinks is a life of "glamour and culture", but it's as shallow as a puddle, and as glamourous as shoveing shit.

    Of course Caribou Barbie doesn't really care about what anyone thinks of her, or who gets compared to her because she is a sociopathic liar, a shill for the ultra right, and the biggest dumbass to still claim to be a Republican that we currently have in the USA

    HOOOHAHH you fame whore pig!

    She perhapst ought to be careful about that "show business" label. The local pole dancers at the gentleman's club are in "show business" also. On the other side of that coin, like Sarah's, everyone in town has seen it and/or had it.

    Regev is "an outspoken politician who embodies a flag-waving gung-ho brand of Zionism, and a folksy, sneering attitude towards the Israeli Left and the country's media elites."

    Now doesn't this sound like the Sarah Palin who went to Israel to meet with Bibi Netanyahu and his wife and gave them the thumbs up. Sarah, the gung-ho folksy sneering flag-waving patriotic attack dog of of the American Left.

    Tha Now Bibi has to content with a "Sarah", she's the ankle biter who'll be snipping at his heels. He has demanded the praises of the Christian Right and defied the Obama Administration, by working up a deal to get to speak in Congress, with the Righties, those Righties who just love Sarah. But, Bibi is running against the same Righties' candidate in Israel. He shows allegiance to the Right here, yet, he, the liberal, is running against a strong Right in his own camp. That could almost be Shakespearean.

    But look how prettier this woman is than our skanky Sarah. She looks like she actually showers, and has her own hair which she washes.

    Palin was never whispered as a serious potential presidential candidate in 2012 Gryphen, you know that. She might have caused a bit of a ruckus with her antics. But she was never considered serious. Gimme a break.

    Sarah Palin never intended to run for president. Sarah Palin only wanted to be asked to run for president and it was a big part of her scam to con people to donate money to SarahPac. That con job has been going on for 6 years and her brainless followers are just now catching on.

    Does this Miri Regev have a pimp for a husband? Whore of a daughter? Dysfunctional uneducated drunk sex addicts for children? Bastard grandchildren?

    If she does I'm willing to bet Miri leaves her family at home too and rides around her country trying to get away from them while letting other people watch her kids.

    Sarah Palin go ahead and announce that God told you not to run for 2016 POTUS. Instead God wants you to run for 2020 POTUS.

    If Miri Regev really wanted to be like Sarah Palin, she'd wear a large rhinestone cross around her neck and a giant shiny Star of David on her belt buckle. Oh, and the Israeli flag on her shoes.
