You may recall that knife-wielding madman Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama's new Chief of Staff, has a dad named Benjamin who used to be an Israeli terrorist! Back in the 1940s Benjamin was in a militant Zionist group that massacred some Arabs and did various other freedom-promoting actions. These things can be a little sensitive, so uh, hey Rahm, whatever you do, don't let your dad go giving racist quotes about Arabs to Israeli newspapers. Okay? Oh hell, it's too late:
So Benjamin, will Rahm influence the White House to more pro-Israel?
“Obviously he’ll influence the President to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn’t he? What is he, an Arab? He’s not going to be mopping floors at the White House.”
Hmm... ok. Apology forthcoming, Arabs! [via Ben Smith; Pic [URL="http://tomroeser.com/sectionlist.asp?s=&month=5&year=2007"]via][/URL]
