In yesterday's election, Netanyahu lost to Israeli military leader Barak. After years of working in the
stressful environment of politics in the Middle East, Netanyahu wanted to move into something a little more
family-friendly.
"I would like to change my image from tough political leader, to light-hearted
carefree game show host," Netanyahu stated at the press conference. "Maybe I'll take up
some golf, too."
Netanyahu already has some ideas for the show. "I was considering a 'Political Leaders'
week. I'd like to see Clinton square up with Yeltsin on Wheel."
Pat Sajak, longtime host of the popular TV game show, will be moving on to a
career in politics.
