DB here. This is nothing less than a distortion of history. I do not understand how very modern OJ sensibilities (by which I means the sensibilities that have developed in the last 10 or 15 years but are imagined to stretch back to Sinai.) are permitted to trump values such as honesty, accuracy, and truth in reporting. Additionally, this is a demonstration of disrespect to a high ranking government official. Though I doubt Hillary reads this crap rag, suppose she comes across it? Won't she perceive it as an insult, and won't it fill her with contempt for the Jewish people? We're allowed to violate biblical laws when there is a fear that keeping it will cause non-Jews to hate us. Why isn't this new hyper-sensitivity about women also set aside under similar circumstances?
