Barak

While Netanyahu's face was that of the traditional villain, Barak reminds me more of a stock character in a vaudeville show. I find infinite amusement in his round face, the tiny eyes rendered almost invisible by his propensity to beam suddenly, and his pointy head. This week, however, the curtain came down before the end of the final act.
