There is nothing more disconcerting than the spectacle

of Jeff Jacoby giving himself a rhetorical enema in the public prints.
I mean, he may feel cleansed but the rest of us well....

Yesterday That Laughing Young Senescence took Jack Abramoff to task for being a unobservant Orthodox Jew what with all his corrupt and crooked activities down in Washington DC.
Wa-al shut mah mouth?
Who'd a thunk it, Jeff taking another conservative to task? For being what? A reliable modern conservative???
All Jeff's religious fol-de-rol seems pretty forced and superficial to me.
One almost suspects he is not so much mad at Abramoff for being an impious Jew (Sure-n the world is full of corrupted Hindus, Christians, Hebrews, Buddhists etc) but for getting caught in such a disasterous fashion.
After all, Abramoff has been at this for years, raising money for the Praetorian Classes' Ultimate Seizure of Power by gamey and even illegal means....yet we've heard no a peep out of Jeff.
Lawrence Novak the former state GOP's treasurer just got hauled off to the hoosegow for money laundering with a drug dealer, Jeff's silence is comforting and sacerdotal.
But then a decorous quiet has settled over the case of Novak's gold while the Abramoff scandal blew up in public with a loud "Ka-boom!".
And another thing, the Globe reported Yesterday on Abramoff's days in the College Republicans wherein he would in Patton-style haranguestelling young activists to "shoot democrats in the belly"...d'ye think this'll make Jeff's Annual Hate Speech Review next December?
No.
Not hardly, yesterday's column was damge control nothing more and nothing less...it certainly has nothing to do with Jeff's alleged religious outrage.

Sick
Demented
Typical
