Long time, first time.
“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...”
TOLD HER SO? As in what, she shouldn’t have married a New Yorker, or a Jew?
Ann, Ann...I know you have been attacked for saying Anti-Semetic things before, but I didn’t see them that way.
This one is too obvious.
Spitzer is a self-righteous prick. That he is a three-day-a-year Jew is completely irrelevant.
Welcome to FR!!!
Why is it anti-Semitic to reference the historical prejudice on the part of Southern Baptists towards Jews? If anything, her remark would me anti-Good Old Boy.
And for the record, she's dating a Jewish guy.
This one is too obvious.
I thought I was the only one.
Next time a Christian screws up, I'll be sure to refer to that person as a Christian again and again.
Wouldn't want anyone to get confused.
And what? It's antisemitic to suggest that religious parents don't want their daughters to marry outside the religion? That was a major theme of Fiddler on the Roof. Some people are way too sensitive.
“As in what, she shouldn’t have married a New Yorker, or a Jew?”
That’s not anti-Semetic; it’s life. Marrying outside of one’s religion is not a smart thing to do because it make a difficult life twice as difficult. We’re Baptists and our best friends are Jewish, but we don’t make life decisions together, and don’t create and raise children together. I would hope that any Jewish parent would discourage their kids from marrying Christians, and vice versa.
