Move Over, "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah."

Philip Weiss has posted a report on this week's Yale Political Union debate with guest John Mearsheimer ("Resolved: End America's special relationship with Israel"). Go here for the substance; the punchline I post here for your convenience:

There had been one funny speech. Matt Lee of the Progressive Party had chosen to mock the U.S. for being a Jewish mother to Israel, and Israel for being the princeling child—upsetting the mother by coming home with China.

When the questions came for Lee, someone stood up to ask if Israel could “marry a goyische country.” Lee looked around mystified. “I don’t even know what that word means.” Nicola stood up to clarify things. “Shiksa countries are for practice.” It was a neat play on a dirty old line. Marry a Jew—shiksas are for practice. The neocon backbenchers roared.

But do check out the substance. All I can add to his description of the night is that the Union is like that all the time. (Hence the Mafia.) Those with further interest in the YPU's inner workings should consult this video, especially 2:35-2:50. The video, like the Union, is unsafe for work.
