“refused to answer an urgent phone call from the president on the Sabbath, when using the phone is prohibited except in life-saving situations.”
Brings to mind the Hillary Clinton question, “What if the 3:00 in the morning call is about the economy?”
I guess you fire your economists, then. If the economists have screwed up so bad that they gotta call you at 3:00 in the morning, then you really need to think about another profession.
Oh but that’s not true that was an internet rumor about the guy most likely because he is Jewish (even though he’s a liberal obviously a lot of the left hate them) but I know what you mean.
Color me a little skeptical about the “story”. He’s not stupid, he knew and knows what the job requires, the question of the Sabbath is one he’d be fully aware of, and certainly wouldn’t wait until receiving and refusing phone calls to consult with a Rabbi if he had any questions. They cited this nonsense when Lieberman ran for VP too.
