Rep. Mike McMahon (D-NY) has fired his reelection finance director after she compiled a list of more than 80 donors to McMahon’s opponent who she said are Jewish to the New York Observer. She provided the paper with a list of donors entitled “Jewish Money Q2.”
From the Observer: McMahon’s (former) finance director, Jennifer Nelson, who is Jewish, complied a list of Jewish donors to one of McMahon’s potential Republican opponents, an ex-FBI agent Mike Grimm. A spokesperson for McMahon’s campaign told the Observer that Nelson identified the donors as Jewish because “she knows a lot of people in that community” and could recognize their names.
[SFL: Nelson? That sounds more like a shiksa name. Carry on.]
“Evangelical Christian minister Tim LaHaye says that the policy initiatives put forth by the Obama administration are bringing the country ‘closer to the apocalypse.’ LaHaye issued the dire warning in an appearance this week on Mike Huckabee’s talk show on Fox News.” [HuffPo]

WorldNetDaily, the Black Knight of Birtherism, is not giving up.
Last time we checked in with them, they were undermining their own story about how the local Honolulu papers were snookered by the health department: The only way for Baby Barack to have been born in Kenya, we determined — based on WND’s own evidence — was for Mom to have jumped the Mombassa redeye Friday night to meet the Monday filing deadline.
Well, okay, fine. WND will grant the point. But only so, like a magician releasing a bird from the other egg, they can amaze you with their latest feat: It doesn’t matter.
Because even if Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, he’s still not a natural-born citizen!
I love podcasts … they’re how I get through my workday. And I found a new one – done by d r i f t g l a s s and Friend-of-Stinque Bluegal. Get it here. I’ve listened to every single one, and I liked them all. And throw some money their way, ferchrissakes.
