Madoff the Jew: The Media’s Hypocritical Obsession With the Fraudster’s Faith, by Phyllis Chesler: …Most Jews do not recognize themselves in what Madoff did; they still expect to be judged on their own merits. I doubt this will happen. I……

If the NYT would offer a special subscription price for “non-reading usage”, I would definitely apply. My new doghouse is almost ready, and I can’t find straw for warm bedding. A few shredded NYT papers to cover the floor would serve very well, and I promise: I won’t read a word.

$1.02 per month as a special rate would be mighty attractive for this purpose.

So, when that pathetic Jew-hating rag begins its terminal tailspin, I’m hoping that Pinch and his fellow sophisticates go running to the government for a bailout. I’d love to see what the Roberts Court will do when it makes mincemeat of the pro-bailout arguments it is bound to hear:

– A national treasure

– An independent source of truth (Walter Duranty, Jason Blair)

– A reliable chronicler of events (Tawana Brawley, the John Kerry campaign; the John Edwards campaigns; the Barack Obama campaign; the war in Iraq; Sarah Palin; women’s golf)

– A font of intellectual rigor (featuring such memorable heavy thinkers as Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and Paul Krugman)

– A publication with broad appeal (especially among affluent whites in non-wealth-producing fields, such as “education,” “journalism,” “community organizing,” the social sciences, government, non-profitdom and mainstream Protestantism.)

– A multiculturalist, inclusive organ with national reach (Jews, however, need not apply. Nor blacks who are “race traitors”).

Sulzberger, I heard, was also a reporter for another newspaper or so. Runs in the blood, you may say.

I don’t dispute your dual stock argument, Tiresias. I do dispute whether a committee can be said to “control” anything.

What they look like they are doing is protecting their dual stock system and the New York Times. Whether they can exercise enough real control over the Times to make them do one thing over another, however, is one I don’t accept.

The time any extended family of rich peeps agrees on anything not related to the preservation of their lives and power, is the time humanity will end war.

The efficacy of single man executive decision making over “committees” have been proven, Tiresias. No amount of saying it is wrong, will disprove it.

The family is 100% in contol – though they may well, by this time, be considering lynching young Pinch, who is evidently a monumental idiot, along with being an ideologue.

It certainly appears that they sold more than their shares…they sold their souls.

After a few generations, the descendants tend to “sell off” their shares in favor of things like yachts and cruises.

I thought so as well until…….they went from Arthur Ochs Sulzberger to AOS, Jr. only to be topped by AOS III.

Bookworm is quite correct in her observations, to which we can add ‘deniers’ of the faith as well.
