You think
he's arrogant...
Her Royal Highness (04.22.05)http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3076328,00.htmlAnne Ayalon, wife of Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Danny Ayalon, says she lives according to "American standards," a lifestyle that apparently permits her to require her housekeeper to bow to her and hurl insults at embassy employees.<

"It was 2 p.m., and the staff at the official residence of Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Danny Ayalon was having lunch. Mrs. Ayalon was irately pacing around them.
"Madam did not like it when we sat down to eat; I could see it on her face," former housekeeper Victoria Estrada said.
"So she came and asked that we take down a picture in the library that had been hanged crookedly. We told her we wanted to finish eating first and then we would fix it," she said. "We had been working straight from 9 a.m. and were starving. I could tell Madam did not like that answer."
Eventually Mrs. Ayalon tended to the matter herself, but when permanent babysitter Virginia Podilla walked into the library, Ayalon exploded.
"Her face turned red and she yelled at Virginia like a crazy person," Estrada recalled.
"She yelled 'Who put that picture there! I had taken it down," former butler Aharon Cohen recalled. "So Virginia told her 'I put (the picture) there, but I am very sorry.'"
In response Ayalon said to her, "No, no, you will bow before me and say you're sorry."
According to Cohen, "she repeated it maybe three times – 'bow again,' she said to her. Podilla then packed up her belongings, threw away her key and said 'I am not coming here anymore.'"
