When we asked him what made him so sure the Bush administration was headed in this direction, he replied: "You just have to read what's in the Israeli press. The Jewish community is divided but there is so much pressure being channeled from the New York money people to the office seekers."

In the 60s and 70s, I think, the code words used to be "East Coast liberals."

1. "Hollywood liberal" -- or just "Hollywood" -- is the West Coast "code"

for "Jewish," though it probably also includes "gays" in the same breath -- a twofer for right wing crazies.

Especially when it's married to the Nazi-like concept of "cultural contamination."

2. LOL. Several years ago I read about the changing face

of Hollywood, or perhaps East, or West Hollywood - not sure.

And the only people who still lived there were gays and old Jews..

3. actually, a lot of Russian Jews moved in to West Hollywood, too.

But don't tell the anti-Semites! ;-)

4. Very disappointed in Clark

Did her really think people wouldn't understand what he was trying to say (or wouldn't care)?
