Julia Gorin: Don't Get Carter

Julia Gorin is that rarest of creatures: a conservative, Republican, New York City-dwelling Jew. She's also wickedly funny while being brilliantly insightful – sort of a cross between P.J. O'Rourke and Jackie Mason.

Julia blogs at Republican Riot, where she recently wrote Don't Get Carter. Here's a sample:

I know we’re not supposed to talk badly about the second black president, because it can easily be perceived as racism. But I’ve got nothing against the idea of a President Obama. After all, some of my best friends are anti-Semites. Including a few black ones.

Of course, one shouldn’t assume that the man is anti-Semitic. Just because he always surrounds himself with a multicultural cornucopia of Jew-haters doesn’t mean that he hates Jews. Apparently he just didn’t know there was anything wrong with hating Jews.

“What are you talking about, Julia? He appointed Rahm Emanuel his chief of staff — and he’s Jewish.”

So was Stalin’s chief executioner.

OK, so black people voted for Obama because they think he’s black; Muslims voted for him because they think he’s Muslim; gay people voted for him because they heard he might be gay; Democrats voted for him because he’s a communist; and Jews voted for him because they’re suicidal.

By all means go read the whole thing.
