Pat Robertson Says Jews Are Too Busy Polishing Diamonds To Fix Their Cars

Once again that little dahling of the right spews his hate and venom... it is never too late to contribute $700.00, join the club... write a check.

“polishing diamonds, not fixing cars.”

“When you correctly said in Jewish neighborhoods you do not find Jews lying under their cars on Sunday afternoons, no, I pay one of the best mechanics around to take care of my BMW, I’d be crazy to take my time doing it myself,” Lapin said. “Or for me to mow my lawn, I’m the worse lawnmower in the world, but the young man who lives down the street from me, he’s one of the best and he’s happy to do it and I’m happy.”

PS - He didn't go there alone, Patters... rightist rabbi Daniel "there is no Hebrew word for retirement" Lapin went with him. Google Translate says it's פרישה. The Hebrew word for retirement, that is.

Now it's likely that my Hebrew sight-reading and/or knowledge of Hebrew is simply miniscule anyway and way faded, but it looks like that word is really close to "parashah" (looks to me like the above is "preeshah," but I am open to being corrected). "Parashah" means "portion," as in one's "torah portion" (in my case, the last real knowledge of hebrew I came by.)

Anyhoo that's neither here nor there. I have kidded around here about being a southern Jew, and said the car up on blocks in the driveway is a BMW. Ol' Rabbi Lapin and Pat Robertson say not so much.

Having no diamonds to polish, I can't say I quite agree with Rabbi Lapin's logic. But Mrs. P can vouch for my admitted ineptitude with most household fix-up tasks, with the exception of gluing and clamping a bathroom door that was falling apart.
