Antisemite watch: CNN

CNN is excited, overwhelmed, jubilant over Jewish politicians in America. But not because we have a disproportionate amount of power compared to all over religious/ethnic/social groups. Nay. They are excited because finally THE JEWS will no longer have a Sith-like control over our nation’s major league politicians.

“The massive overrepresentation of Jews on Capitol Hill, long a source of pride for the community, has been shrinking in recent years and could drop in the coming election cycle from 41 to the mid 30s, a level last seen 15 years ago,” Nathan Guttman recently wrote in The Forward, the Jewish newspaper.

Perhaps a golden age of sorts is coming to an end.

Or, perhaps, you are a jealous asshole. But hey, we both may be wrong.

Reports Guttman: “Changing demographic realities are pushing Jewish activists to seek a political partnership with Latinos, America’s fastest-growing minority group, for help in supporting the U.S.-Israel relationship.”

Ah shit. We are teaming up with the biggest disenfranchised voters to keep us connected to Israel? Have we already given up?!?

Where’s Anthony Weiner when you need him…
