Over at Commentary, Jennifer Rubin notes this oddity from a Telegraph profile of failed statesman and Barack Obama advisor Zbignew Brzezinski:
Silly me – I didn’t even know Joe McCarthy was Jewish! Anyway, who are these Jews with McCarthyite tendencies? And is the “Jewish community” the only one in America so plagued, or are Italians, Irish and African-Americans saddled with their own McCarthyites? Perhaps Zbig could identify some Greek-American McCarthyites, just to satisfy my curiosity. Of course, Brzezinski does allow that other groups have McCarthyites, but I still can’t help but wonder how come Jews got singled out for special observation in this regard. I would wager that Zbig will soon be joining Jeremiah Wright under the Obama campaign bus. And when that happens, we’ll all have to forget that Obama said about Brzezinski, “(He’s) someone I have learned an immense amount from (and) one of our most outstanding scholars and thinkers.”
