Forgive Them Father

My colleagues are in high dudgeon today over the outrage perpetrated on The Child in Jerusalem; you know, Notegate at the Wailing Wall. Everyone seems to be SHOCKED, OUTRAGED and DEEPLY OFFENDED that The Chosen One could be made to suffer such an indignity, such a gross violation of privacy. This infraction is so completely and utterly offensive that even people I know who don’t like Obama and have no intention of voting for him are aghast, saying that this act is beyond the pale because this was the one gesture of Barack’s Excellent Adventure that was actually “heartfelt” and “sincere”. It just goes to show you that the old adage that some people will believe anything, no matter how self-serving, phony, hypocritical, opportunistic or downright savage, if a man of the cloth is in the vicinity giving his blessing – or better yet, if the act in question is carried out directly by a “religious leader.”
And you know who’s to blame for all these outrages being perpetrated on The Child, don’t you?
Of course! The Jews! They never learn, do they? They’re crucifying The Chosen One (in Jerusalem, no less!) just like they did to Jesus!
While everyone is busy gnashing their teeth and rending their garments, may I be so bold as to remind all the umbrage-takers that on July 9th, Obama voted for the FISA Amendments Act, which “expanded the president’s warrantless surveillance authority and unconstitutionally granted retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that participated in the president’s illegal domestic wiretapping program.” So forgive me if I’m not heartbroken over Obama’s innermost thoughts being revealed to the world by nosy strangers.
And now’s as good a time as any to let everyone know I’ll be hosting another installment of Hour of Power on Tuesday, July 29th at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. Formal announcement to follow.
UPDATE: Statement from Maariv: “Obama’s note was published in Maariv and other international publications following his authorization to make the content of the note public. Obama submitted a copy of the note to media outlets when he left his hotel in Jerusalem. Moreover, since he is not Jewish, there is no violation of privacy as there would be for a Jewish person who places a note in the wall.”
