Wait a minute, Deacon–this is

Wait a minute, Deacon–this is the Egyptian TV series we blogged on several weeks ago, which is based on the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion”–to suggest that this is not anti-Semitic is absurd, as the original descriptions of the series made clear. The State Department has reviewed, apparently, six out of forty-one episodes, but it strains credulity to claim that so far, they are free of anti-Jewish sentiment. Maybe last week’s election returns will embolden the Administration to clean house at the State Department. Having said that, I confess that I have no idea how feasible it is to throw out entrenched Foggy Bottom bureaucrats. This is a civil service issue, I guess, so for the foreseeable future the State Department will probably continue to be an embarrassment.
