Olmert to go

At long last, not a moment too soon, and probably way too late, horrible Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is stepping down:

Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced on Wednesday he would step down in September after a party leadership vote, announcing the end of a premiership dogged by graft investigations.

“After the election of my successor I will step down to allow a government to be formed rapidly,” he said, after declaring he would not run in the centrist Kadima party election due in mid-September.

I’d say Hurrah!, but I’ll hold my enthusiasm until I see who replaces him.
