The nice thing about having a Democrat in the White House is that there is never any bad news...

...and scandals where a political party employs a person who talk about "Jewbags" is never a problem...

particularly if the party is the Democrat Party.

Ann Althouse observes:

The Democrats' "jewbag" problem.

Have you noticed this controversy? It's the kind of thing that makes you want to say that if Republicans made a misstep like this we would never hear the end of it. It would be a "macaca" moment.

The staffer for DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz who posted the controversial 'Jewbag' photo on her Facebook page in 2006 is no anonymous aide -- but the daughter of Mark and Nancy Gilbert, two major Florida donors who have raised more than $500,000 for the Obama campaign.

Danielle "Dani" Gilbert, according to party sources, was tapped by Wasserman Schultz to serve as a liaison to the Jewish community, even though party officials and people close to Obama told her that more senior Democrats were already handling those responsibilities.

Wasserman Schultz has thus far refused to fire or discipline Gilbert, whose gallery of candid photos and personal commentary has since been removed from her public Facebook page, according to Democrats.

(Also on POLITICO: Wasserman Schultz says Mormonism off limits)...

Thanks, Politico. Thanks for inserting Wasserman Schultz's banal pronouncement about that other religion. I guess there's some relevance.

I didn't want to post anything on this originally because the "Jewbag" comments come from some stupid Facebook post done by an obviously immature Gilbert, and it seems to me that she didn't mean it and that there needs to be a limit on the politics of outrage.

On the other hand, Althouse is right. None of my delicate sensibilities would matter a bit if it was an immature Republican on the other side. If that happened there would be a national conversation on anti-semitism and how bad humor masks the anti-semitic nature of America, etc., etc.

So, sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. To paraphrase Anne Coulter, wasn't it amazing how Democrats lost interest in using special prosecutors as political weapons after a few Democrats went to prison because of special prosecutors.

If this is what is necessary to drain the swamp of faux-outrage, then so be it.
