THE JOYS OF JESSE
br>
Where’s
Leo Rosten
when we need him? Thirty-five
years ago, long before the Brothers Menendez, in
The Joys of
Yiddish
, he defined “chutzpah” as murdering your parents and
then asking the court for mercy because you were an orphan. We may
now need another word for
Jesse Jackson
.
/p>
p>The Rev. appeared this week at a Santa Monica, California rally
for striking grocery workers. The problem is, the owner of one of
the targeted big chains — grocery tycoon
Ron
Burkle
(big friend of Bill, and the guy Bill stays with
when he’s in L.A.) — is the man who gave Jackson mistress
Karin Stanford
a sweetheart job in Los Angeles
when she fled Washington, D.C. after being impregnated and then
getting cut off from child support. So is Jesse biting the hand
that feeds his illegitimate daughter?
