Talking Points Memo had the article Dem Rep. Blasts ‘Talmudic Scholar’ King’s Comments On Jewish Dems (VIDEO).
“I really do not need lessons from people like Steve King on what is to be Jewish or a Democrat,” Israel said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “Steve King, who said that America is a Christian nation, should not be lecturing Jews about how we should be Jewish. You know, Steve King doesn’t know what chutzpah is, but Steve King defining Jews and talking about how we can’t be Democrats and Jews at the same time? That’s chutzpah.”
Although I do not agree with Rep. Israel on the topic of the country of Israel, and I don’t agree with him on other topics, I still liked some of his remarks here. I especially liked his disdain for Rep. King, the Christian Talmudic Scholar. Christian Talmudic Scholar is not an oxymoron except in the case of Rep. King.
In case you didn’t get the word chutzpah, here is the pronunciation from reference.com and definition below.
unmitigated effrontery or impudence; gall.
