Justin Paulette is an attorney practicing international law in bella Italia. He hails from the great Buckeye State, "The Heart of it All," the only state with a bridge which you can cross and still be on the same side of the river, home of the hot dog, pop top soda can and the largest basket in the world! Though he's spent the past decade jet-setting across the Atlantic with one foot in London and the other on Capitol Hill, he still fancies himself a Mid-western, God-fearing, role-playing geek at heart.

Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni has emerged victorious in the Kadima Party's primary election - paving the way for her to become the country's next prime minister. Livni would become the first female leader of Israel in 34 years, thereby joining the ranks of female world leaders inclusive of 3 queens, 8 presidents and 8 other prime ministers.

A former lawyer, army captain and agent in the Mossad spy agency, Livni favors diplomacy and a Palestinian peace process - but said last week that she has "no problem pulling the trigger when necessary."

Spoken like a true hockey mom - a pit-bull in lipstick! Should they both assume high offices, Tzipi Livni and Sarah Palin would serve as a striking pair in diplomatic talks. Perhaps they could meet in the Alaskan wilderness, hunting moose and showing the good ol' boys how it's done!

If this is a preview of the Age of Women in Politics - bring on the future!

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
