Eliot Spitzer was the golden boy with an absolutely charmed life. His parents were the children of Jewish immigrants, who created a Ralph Lauren lifestyle for their children.

OK, fine. Spitzer is a Jew. Next.

Forget about his career -- those around him better have him on suicide watch. Dudley Do-Right is on tape in a white-knuckle negotiation with pimps about payment for a prostitute. (Let's just be thankful that there's no anti-Semitic expression for Jews haggling about money.)

Joke about a Jew cheaping out on a prostitute...

He lives at the perfect address (Fifth Avenue and 79th St.) with his perfect Harvard Law School-educated Southern Baptist wife -- whose parents must be telling her they told her so right about now --

Right about what? Marrying a wealthy man from a good family??

Had it been a Christian who committed these crimes and had this exact article been printed with the word "Christian" in place of the word "Jew" Christians here would be saying this is another example of media's attack on Christianity.

And I would've agreed with them.

So, with that in mind, let's try this again:

Not *that* looks like some crap straight out of a left-wing Berkley rag.

Don't get me wrong, I do like Ann Coulter. The woman has spunk and I agree with 99% of everything that comes out of her mouth. I'm just saying that she's been jabbing a the Jews a bit lately. Am I offended? Nah. She tends to jab at just about everybody.

I still like her writing, but I'm not going to sit in denial and pretend that she doesn't put her foot in her mouth from time-to-time.

Suppose he were Amish. Don't you think Ann would come up with some clever Amish references about bartering quilts and furniture for sex? Of course she would. What if he were Wiccan? Same deal.

Sorry but it is just a fact of life that comedians are going to notice features outside the mainstream culture when they are sharpening the lampoon. This is true of all comics.
