McNulty:
I gotta ask you.
If every time Snotboogie...
would grab the money and run away
why'd you even let him in the game ?
Witness:
What ?
McNulty:
If Snotboogie always stole the money,
why'd you let him play ?
Witness:
Got to. This America, man.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a prime minister again, it's a matter of Days. Apparently in a right wing orthodox coalition, we'll know in a few days. Why did we chose him again ? only ten years ago "farther away from Netanyahu" replaced "Peres will divide Jerusalem" in a winner election slogan. Netanyahu Lied, He opened the Western Wall Tunnel, He was caught red handed trying to buy votes in his first government in order to approve the pullout from Hevron by appointing an attorney general that will work out a deal with Aryeh Deri. His economic policy have widen the gap between poor and rich in Israel and placed us in the top five list. Why are we letting him to play crap with us ?
Ehud Barak Lost an election again. Again he is doing everything in his power to join a right wing coalition only to stick to power and to enjoy the prominent position of the minister of defence. The fact that Barak is shameless and will do just about anything in order hold a position in any government was demonstrated in Yoel Marcus' column at Haartz. The only thing that was on Ehud Barak's mind when he found out Yitzhak Rabin was murdered was the legal position of a government that it's prime minister is murdered and what is the legal procedure that will make him the minister of defence . In the last two times Barak had lost in the poles, once in a primaries for the labour party and once a general elections, he showed little faith in that esoteric body called the Israeli parliament, if not to that bureaucratic thing called democracy. He simply quitted and went to his businesses. Why are we letting him to play crap with us ?
The first episode of the wire introduces us to the organisations that the show will follow in the next five seasons. We learn about two of those, The Baltimore police department and the Barksdale crime organisation, from the personal stories of detective McNulty and D'angelo Barksdale. Mcnulty is stirring the peace in the department by telling judge Phelan how badly the department is dealing with the Barksdale organisation and let it's people get away with at least 12 murders. Phalen causes a "shit storm" in the department and forces the deputy of operation Burrell to open a special investigation team. D'angelo in his turn loses his temper, shoots somebody for no good reason and in front of to many witnesses and costs the organisation platy of time and money in order to make it go away. The answer Burrell finds to the new problem is to act swiftly and make it go away. to do the least he can but enough to set Phelan's mind in peace.
The last week was led by the notion that the Gilad Shalit's saga is closed to an end and it is a matter of days until we will see him with his family. safe and hopefully sound. We saw high profile publications about the work done in Gilad Shalit's negotiations efforts led by Yuval Diskin and ofer dekel going to and from Eygept. And other front page headline promising a break through in those negotiations. apparently Ehud Olmert is doing anything in his power to set the Israeli mind in peace about the Shalit issue and to give the Israeli public the notion that he is keeping his promise to do everything he can to free Gilad shalit. This is so important for Olmert that he is doing it even in the price of freeing Gilad shalit. You don't need to be an expert to know that that kind of sensitive negotiation has to be dealt far away from the media and the public eye. Most probably that his Public relation campaign today will be a burden on Benjamin Netanyahu when he in his turn will have to free Gilad Shalit.
Bunk:
There you go, giving a fuck
when it ain't your turn to give a fuck.
Beside the coalition negotiations the other thing that occupies Benjamin Netanyahu's schedule is "not to pick up the phone when it's not his turn." It is not his turn to deal with the release of Gilad Shalit just as it wasn't his turn to deal with the development in the war in gaza. (operation cast led). McNulty and Landsman are angry at Bunk for answering the phone when it wasn't his turn and by that added a red name to Sgt. Landsman's unit's statistics. Rawls and Burrell and basicly the whole department are angry at McNulty for showing concern, or in Bunk's words give a fuck, in the Barksdale organisation when it wasn't his turn. Netanyahu knows he can't put to blame if he'll keep low in those sensitive issues.
