Yeah, That'll Get You Fired

Israel has had a tough time of late with diplomats. Two years ago, a diplomat was found to have published photos of nude Brazilian while stationed there. Last year, its (now former) ambassador to Australia described Asia as the land of people with "slanted eyes."

Now this, which leaves those two in the dust ...

The Israeli ambassador to El Salvador has been recalled after he was found drunk, naked and bound in sexual bondage gear in his yard, an official said Monday.

Tsuriel Raphael has been removed from his post and the Foreign Ministry has begun searching for a replacement, said spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel.

Two weeks ago, El Salvador police found Raphael naked outside his residence, tied up, gagged and drunk, Israeli media reported. He was wearing several sex toys at the time, the media said. After he was untied, Raphael told police he was the ambassador of Israel, the reports said.

The British Broadcasting Corp. reported that he could identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth.

OK, is it us or do your mouth not just drop about three inches when you read that last sentence?

But, c'mon, seriously, how much of a career has he lost? The Israeli ambassador to El Salvador? What else do we expect him to do while he's there? He couldn't have been very effective anyway. Since an ambassador's main duty is to speak, he couldn't fulfill responsibilities, what with that ball-gag and all.

Oy, vey.
