Picking The Nuts

Looking for comedy relief, we dived into the shallow pool of a Martin Peretz exercise. Title: "Obama’s Middle East Is in Tatters, Utter Tatters." First two sentences:
It is not actually his region. Still, with the arrogance that is so characteristic of his behavior in matters he knows little about (which is a lot of matters), he entered the region as if in a triumphal march.
It gets better (for comedy) & worse for anything else (We wonder if Peretz cribs his dirty Arab shtick from Nazi dirty Jew propaganda, merely substituting an ethnic group here & there.)

After wallowing through something like this, it's always wise to read the comments, if only for the "This is why I shall not be renewing my subscription, harrumph!" indications that not even most TNR subscribers buy into Marty's shit.

But we did find something new under the Obama derangement sun: It's not enough that the president is alleged to have been a "Chicago politician." (Where, by the way, is all the evidence that he was a ward-heeler & so on? You'd think someone could have dredged up something by now.) No, it's "Chicago Black politics," & the Islamic influence is outsized!!
I would like to begin with the suggestion that the Democrats nominate someone different for President in 2012, someone not sentimental about his Islamic heritage nor influenced by the outsized influence of Islam on Chicago Black politics.

    So Obama's Israel policy isn't craven enough for the owner of The Neocon Republican?

    Surprised and shocked, I am!

    Yes. How I long for the days of the Bush Administration's cultural sensitivity and refined knowledge of the Middle East.

    Int'l. Affairs Editor:

    If all that outsized Islamic influence were true, we'd expect The Prez to be sportin' a bow-tie 24/7. (Has anyone checked the White House fridge for bean pies? Or chitlins, as proof otherwise?)

    Sunni? Shia? Whatever.
