The relatively small number of Jews in Bush's cabinet became an issue largely due to the comparison with his predecessor, Bill Clinton.

Why should this even be an issue?...except for those that see purpose in promoting Jews in the government. And became an issue with whom? Who gives a flying &^%$ what Clinton did? His cabinet was a freakin' disaster --- who should we be proud of as a nation there? Halfbright? Burglar? Cohen? --- God, what reprobates.
I don't know if William Cohen counts as Jewish...his father was Jewish but his mother wasn't. I'm not sure which religion he was raised in.
AMEN!
