Hymietown redux

Jesse Jackson successfully scuttled his 1984 Presidential campaign by referring to New York as “Hymietown”. That remark has followed him ever since. It appears that Tommy Thompson’s comments to a mostly Jewish crowd in Washington on Monday might have a similar effect. Said Thompson,

"I'm in the private sector and for the first time in my life I'm earning money. You know that's sort of part of the Jewish tradition and I do not find anything wrong with that."

WTF? Do I believe that Thompson is an anti-Semite? Not really but I think anyone dumb enough to say something so utterly foolish and stereotypical is not of Presidential timber. What a dunce…
