OK, this isn't really breaking. But the following story shows evidence that Ari Fleischer must not be Jewish.
Former Bush spokesman slams Obama over pastor
Unfortunately, you must register to read in full so I'll include the only quote that really matters.
"If my rabbi had made those statements, I would have left the synagogue immediately," said Fleischer, an active board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition. "It really troubles me that Barack Obama only waited until now to speak out about this issue.
What kind of Jew is he? Didn't he know that for every Rabbi, there are 100 opinions? And none of them are ever in agreement with anyone in the shul?
If my job was based on my Rabbi's opinions, I would have been fired ages ago. I don't know what relationships church members have with ministers in Christian churches, but the Fleischer response is comical.
The more I read about this fuss from the right, the more I realize that this is the only thing they have on Obama. And they are trying to do whatever they can. This reminds me of the "Shame on You, John Kerry" talk after the debate where Kerry happened to mention Cheney's daughter. My Republican friend (yes, I do have them) began sending me quotes from Wright two months ago. This isn't news. This is the only thing they have going for them as a talking point.
The statements that Reverend Wright said are serious and I don't agree with all of them. But then again, my rabbi talked about an embargo on Turkey for not allowing us to pass legislation on the Armenian genocide. My rabbi talked about a boycott of all prescription drugs. My rabbi talked about florescent light bulbs as a conspiracy.
So I must apologize for my more religious friends, but I have to say "who the hell cares!"
