Another Woman Tops the Bill

Justin Paulette

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.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL - SEPTEMBER 17: Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni gives a speech before casting her vote at a polling station on September 17, 2008 in Tel Aviv, Israel. Livni is running against Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz to take over the leadership of the ruling Kadima party in primary elections today, from disgraced Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who has said he would step down once a new party head is elected.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!
