Ahh, Shimmy. You're the newest - and ninth - President of Israel.
But even when you win, you don't win.
(The other candidates bowed out as Peres was only 3 Knesset votes shy of the necessary majority. The man who has served the government of Israel probably more than any other person since 1948 has still never truly won an election.)
