Israel Recalls Gay Ambassador [now become joke thread]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...6441461.stm?ls

Israel recalls 'naked ambassador'

Israel's leadership has been shaken by a string of scandals

Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found drunk and naked apart from bondage gear. Reports say he was able to identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth. A foreign ministry official described Ambassador Tzuriel Refael's behaviour as an unprecedented embarrassment

I hear there's a little more to this story than is actually being made public.....

It appears that the ambassador was not actually naked when he was discovered, but was in fact wearing a West Ham shirt. It's thought reference to this was removed to spare his blushes.......

Re: Israel Recalls Gay Ambassador

I thought it was common knowledge that he was gay. No problem for me but wearing a West Ham shirt probably is a "unbecoming of a diplomat"

I'm not sure the BBC story mentions it, but he is openly gay.

Actually I didn't realise I had even mentioned it until I saw what title I had put in the thread, but I'm afraid I have to put that down to a bit of lazy copy and pasting from an email I received.

Perhaps they just put the ball back in his mouth

Re: Israel Recalls Gay Ambassador

lol @ Tim

I thought my "he's just being made the whipping boy" was good, but that beats mine into a cocked hat. Which, coincidentally...


Apparently it was his first role as ambassador following his promotion from a foreign missionary position.
