Dressed in black, holding a cigar and a glass of scotch, flashing a wicked smile that makes him look like Gary Busey's smarter brother, White is the bad boy of Blue Collar TV.

...tend to gather momentum. And this movement is being joined by families of soldiers killed in the brawl with Hizballah. All that has sent Olmert's political stock plummeting. At the start of the Lebanon campaign, he was seen as tough and decisive, a lanky Churchill puffing a cigar. Today 63% of Israelis want Olmert to resign, according to a poll reported last week in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper...
