"I'm the Israeli Ambassador - it's what I do"

Following hot on the heels of the Bishop of Southwark, the Israeli Ambassador to El Salvador demonstrates one way to be inebriated in public:

Israel is replacing its ambassador in El Salvador after the current envoy was found in a street, drunk, wearing only bondage gear, officials said.

"Our ambassador has been recalled immediately," a foreign ministry official told AFP news agency

SNIP

"During the 60 years of the State of Israel, some of our diplomats have caused us embarrassment, as happens in every country," the official said.

"But an ambassador behaving indecently on a public thoroughfare, that has never happened before."

Haaretz website reports that police found Mr Refael in a San Salvador street two weeks ago.

He was inebriated, his hands were tied and he was gagged with a rubber ball in his mouth.

In spite of his drunken state, the naked figure reportedly identified himself by his full name and job title.


What a way to lose your job.

It's the ball-gag that just makes it, really. Nobody looks ambassadorial in a ball-gag.

Yes, and in spite of the ball gag.

If the guy had any wits about him, he could have made up one helluva kidnapping story.

An embassador is a type of politician, right?

But what was he doing out and about? It's not the sort of outfit you go roaming the streets in, is it? Not if you're an ambassador, anyway.

Were I an ambassador, that get-up would just be Tuesday night.

I wish more Israeli politicians behaved like that actually.
It would be better than what a lot of them apparently get up to in their bedrooms at the moment, in terms of posing in the mirror in height of current military style, plus guns and such.

Clearly, this isn't a problem that's confined to Israeli government, but still ...

Apparently it was his own backyard according to various press agencies (as reported here for example, but presumably visible to the street.

"On behalf of my government, I'd like to apologize for not being vanilla. It's Tin Roof Sundae with a ball-gag or nothing at all."

DUDE. I should be an ambassador.
