Our Sausage is Made Like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas
This is how YM editorial meetings heat up during Pulitzer season.
99 (in an email with the subject "I'm a little busy"): Dana, could you handle this? Might not be in your voice enough, but:
Title: Is St. Barack's Farrakhan Connection Disenfranchising Jews?
Art: Meir Kahane photo
text: Riff on Python: 'Because every Jew is sacred and every Jew is good' lead into discussion of how Obama is an anti-semite because he won't embrace Hillary's position that we should 'honor' the FLA primary (word parsing on Honor/Denounce could be good). Mebbe get pull quote from your cousin for local angle/flavor. Try for some irony/hypocrisy angle if you can about 2000. Some Savior/Obama-Jesus-killed-by-Jews action would be nice. Wrap it up with some tribe/media reference involving a journo the Boss wants to bang. Or, for a twist, try and find one he doesn't.

thx
Dana: This is too cerebral, doesn't sound enough like me. Can we tie it into the story about the woman who was stuck to the toilet in Kansas? That's more my speed.
Boss: In the spirit of transparency, I think it's best we just post this email exchange. Notify me soon if you have a problem with that.
99: Well, I was hoping, you know, she would actually write it. Now you have to add this. With the caveat that I know Kahane was too obvs. But he's my go-to Jew for right wing orthodoxy. If you have a better options (period photo of Woody Allen when Soon-Yi was 10 or something? That dude from Counting Crows?), go for it.
And fix any typos, I've been cowering on the floor all afternoon. I just opened a box of red hots.
