Tzipi Livni won the Kadima primary yesterday, and if she can rally enough support from Israel’s rambling list of political parties to create a governing body (seriously, American may have invented democracy, but the Knesset makes our two-choice system look like a sham,) will likely become the Holy Land’s second female prime minister (Golda Meir blasted the Israeli glass ceiling 30 years ago.)

I’ve always liked Tzipi – She’s got mad foreign policy skills and media savvy, she’s smart as hell, diplomatic, dovish and a vegetarian; she’s rabid about protecting Israel but compassionate enough to recognize that Palestinians are people, too.

Plus, I’m pretty sure she could wipe the UN floor with Ahmadinejad’s beard if given the opportunity.
