"You're getting quite chummy with Rob Eshman," a pleased Cathy Seipp said to me over dinner Saturday night.
Well, access to greatness, Cathy, has not compromised my ability to speak truth to power.
Rob writes in his latest column in the Oct. 15 Jewish Journal of Los Angeles: "If it wasn't for the fact that Americans can't chew gum and hold an election at the same time..."
Why is it that whenever I read these sentiments, they come from leftists rather than rights by two-to-one?
I wonder which countries Eshman thinks can hold elections and chew gum at the same time? Israel? France? Sweden?
Eshman devotes his column to analyzing Bush's roadmap to peace and Israel's security. Rob has no comparative advantage in writing this stuff. It's already done better in The NYT. He should be writing about what he knows -- Jewish Los Angeles.
The cover of the October 15, 2004 issue of the Jewish Journal was a repetition of a theme played out endlessly at the left-of-center paper -- violence bad, peace good, Arab-Israeli cooperation good.
The cover read: "A Brutal Attack on a Symbol of Peace May Lead to More Israeli-Arab Cooperation."
Then there's the useless article by Janine Zacharia: "The vice president links Israel terror reduction to Saddam's removal."
If Janine (a beautiful and fascinating woman) wants to be truly happy, she should marry me, move into the hovel, and have my babies. Then she could exercise her influence on international relations in the kitchen and the bedroom (in my hovel, everything is the same room) as God and nature intended (credit for that pungent thought goes to Chaim Amalek).
I don't want to go this entire post without praising something in the Journal. There is a picture of a cute dog on the back.
