Douglas Olson at The Last Ditch

Following the death of Rep. Tom Lantos (D-Calif.) in February, Howard Berman (D-Calif.) succeeded him as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

Lantos, a Hungarian-born Jew, was famed as the "only Holocaust survivor in Congress," even though there were no "death camps" in Hungary. He was actually a petty, cowardly bully who routinely abused witnesses at hearings, once going so far as to compare a witness to a Nazi, and then using his power as chairman to forbid the man from speaking a word in his own defense. A few years ago Lantos ran his automobile over the foot of a child in a Capitol parking area and fled the scene rather than stop and own up to his misdeed.

He was, of course, lionized as "brave" and as a "humanitarian" when he finally ceased polluting the planet with his presence. Berman, like Lantos, is Jewish. He is followed in seniority on the committee by Gary Ackerman (D-N.Y.), also a Jew. Then come Eni Faleomavaega, the non-white, non-voting delegate from American Samoa, and Donald Payne (D-N.J.), a Negro.

Next in the pecking order is Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), a Jew, followed by Robert Wexler (D-Fla.), another Jew, and Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), yet another Jew.

One has to go down nine places in the original majority membership list to find the first white Western man — Bill Delahunt (D-Mass.), who is closely followed by Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), a Negro, and Diane Watson (D-Calif.), a Negress.

I don't think much else needs to be said. The cold, hard facts speak for themselves.

I thinks I'm starting to see your rain of thought, Mr Ditch. I no likes.
