The new mixed-Jewish establishment
From Mike Allen's Politico Playbook for this weekend:--PEOPLE magazine: “Clinton is Methodist and Mezvinsky is Jewish, but it’s unlikely either will convert, says a source, adding, ‘It will be an interfaith ceremony.’ …WEDDINGS:
--Anne Kornblut and Jon Cohen, in Napa. Campbell Brown is a bridesmaid, Dan Senor is doing the ketubah [...]
Neocon front orgs
Speaking about the new Emergency Committee for Israel that is pushing war with Iran and is getting a ton of attention on CNN and MSNBC (Bill Kristol's behind it), I missed this from Eli Clifton at Lobelog last week, a shrewd catch that historians will some day write books about.In an interview with Deborah Solomon [...]
Politico’s Mike Allen lends legitimacy to neocon smear org
Yesterday, Politico reporter Mike Allen appeared on Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough, and, to be sure, behaved just as he always does, and how most Politico Beltway beat reporters do. Which is to say, to use Glenn Greenwald's phrase, he behaved like a piece of "Versailles sleaze." Or as Chris Hedges puts it about the [...]
Obama got it once. Krauthammer never will
From Florida Today. Maybe more revealing about Obama than Krauthammer, but wow is Krauthammer's statement repulsive. Also the Obama statement obviously reflects Obama '09, when he thought he might heal the wound.Now he embraces Netanyahu. Oh and yes, this is about Israel. If Israel were not in the picture, Krauthammer would care less about Muslims.The [...]
Big push begins for war on Iran
Does this sound familiar? Here's neoconservative Eli Lake, writing in the Washington Times:The United Arab Emirates ambassador to the United States said Tuesday that the benefits of bombing Iran's nuclear program outweigh the short-term costs such an attack would impose.The UAE has denied that its ambassador made such a statement. Does it even matter? Here [...]
Speaking of Berman,
I have failed to note Stephen F. Cohen's tackle of Paul Berman for affecting knowledge he doesn't have. The dispute concerns Nikolai Bukharin, a Soviet Marxist who was purged and tried and executed under Stalin. Bukharin's alleged confession to Soviet authorities was the inspiration for Arthur Koestler's famous book Darkness at Noon. In a piece [...]
Bill Bennett & his neocon sidekick say reelecting Obama means the end of Israel
Yesterday on his nationally syndicated Morning in America radio program Bill Bennett interviewed the well known writer on military affairs, Bing West. West is a former Marine and former Ass't Secretary of Defense in the Reagan Administration. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. The interview began as an analysis of [...]
Beinart and Mearsheimer now closer to one another than Frum (and wait–Who’s Jewish?)
I was struck watching a Canadian television broadcast of John Mearsheimer, David Frum, Peter Beinart, and Derek Penslar (University of Toronto, Jewish history) called "Israel's Newest Critics," that the real outlier in the four was not Mearsheimer but Frum who came off as shrill and was clearly parroting the party line ("unresolved sovereignty" for Palestinians [...]
Mort Zuckerman: U.S. occupations stink, but Israel’s is great
