Jane Harmen: too attractive to last so long in congress


It is no surprise that an attractive white woman is being attacked not just for being attractive but she is Jewish.
Jewish is not just a religion. It is a source of increasing identification with meaning where by new blogs are springing up to address this special interest group. A corrupt politician is not just potentially corrupt, but Jewish too.
Elliot Spitzer is another case in point. It is being said that his current return to the political scene is too much, too soon. Is this because he is Jewish? His crime was mostly one of personal behavior. Politically he was a whistle blower without protection

How much does prejudice control the political scene? Too much?
