This could get awkward. Rabbi David Wolpe of Los Angeles Sinai Temple, where Monica Lewinsky and her family were congregation members for decades and where Lewinsky attended religious school, is scheduled to deliver the benediction at the Democratic National Convention tonight not long after Bill Clinton speaks.
Not only was Wolpe the Lewinsky familys rabbi, he also sharply condemned President Clinton at the time his sexual relationship with Lewinsky, then a 24-year-old White House intern, was dominating national headlines.

You cant make this stuff up. People will be aware of the Rabbi's humiliation...hard to put a finger on - but it feels bad. Monica became a laughing stock of the nation - he was her spiritual leader - a fried of the family... and he gives his stamp of approval? Something creepy about this...

These people who support the ‘rats deserve nothing but derision and ridicule.
There is absolutely no reason to respect this rabbi.

I bet Clinton loves it. Any time the media spends talking about Slick Willie and the intern in the blue dress or her Rabbi is time they are not (metaphoricaly) giving 0bama the Lewinsky treatment. It would not surprise me if Bill showed up with a cigar.

“There is absolutely no reason to respect this rabbi.”
Not that I disagree with you, but do you consider the Roman Catholic Biship any different?

Why not have Lewinsky speak with Fluke at the convention? Why not have fluke give Bubba a Lewinsky on stage.
