(Gen.) Clark's 1/2 Jewish. Interesting days.

He discussed this last night.

Yeah, like Kerry, Clark discovered he was Jewish when he decided to run for the Presidency:

"Wes Discovers Jewish Roots

September 22, 2003

Guess what? This whole thing is getting out of hand. From the Jewish Times, headline, "Wesley Clark's Jewish Roots." I kid you not.

"Raised a Southern Baptist who later converted to Roman Catholicism, Gen. Wesley Clark knew just what to say when he strode into a Brooklyn yeshiva in 1999, ostensibly to discuss his leadership of NATO's victory in Yugoslavia.

"'I feel a tremendous amount in common with you,' the uniformed four-star general told the stunned roomful of students. 'I am the oldest son, of the oldest son, of the oldest son -- at least five generations, and they were all rabbis.'

"Clark's Jewish father, Benjamin Kanne, died when he was 4, but he has kept in touch with his father's family since his 20s, when he rediscovered his Jewish roots. He is close to a first cousin, Barry Kanne, who heads a pager company in Georgia."

Is it almost predictable now that every Democrat of prominence is going to find Jewish roots in their past? Remember Madeleine Albright? John Kerry all of a sudden found out that somewhere deep, dark in the bowels of his family is a Jewish relative. And even Hillary found some Jewish relationship way, way, way back. Some ancestor was a distant cousin to Moses or some such thing.

What do these people think of the Jewish community? It's a total pander. It never ends. Soon, they are going to find that they've got some black relatives. They'll dig up relatives to match whatever minority happens to be ruling the roost at the time. If it happens to be one-armed amputees from Bosnia, General Wesley Clark will find out he's got some relationship to one-armed amputees from Bosnia. Why have we never heard of Wesley Clark's Jewish roots until he became a presidential candidate? Am I being cynical? You're damn right I am, folks - and happily so."
