Livni aides: Barak, Netanyahu apathetic to corruption

--------------YNET

The "sources close to Livni" are criticizing Netanyahu (I won't comment on Barak) becuase of his failure to condemn Olmert and call for his resignation after the upcoming indictment was announced.

Tzipi Livni is a two-faced hypocrite. Netanyahu has been calling for his resignation for the past 2.5 years. (Barak is technically even the one responsible for the collapse of the government and the move to new elections). Netanyahu and the Likud are the only ones the past 2.5 years who have been condemning Olmert for his failures and for his corruption.

Tzipi Livni kept quiet the whole time, working high up in Olmert's government, because she was afraid she would lose her cushioned seat around the government table. Only now, after we are already in the election process, when Olmert no longer has any power over her as his career is over (for now at least0 is she suddenly willing to speak up.

Netanyahu has no reason to condemn Olmert. he has done so for long enough, and who cares if he holds on to his seat for another couple of months. We are already in the process of elections anyway, so what does Netanyahu get by calling on him to resign? Just to allow Livni the opportunity to call herself Prime minister for 2 months? Why does she deserve that?

Livni is a hypocrite condemning others for not talking up. She is the one who kept quiet when she should have spoken up.
