President-elect Barack Obama's White House chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel has apologised to the US-Arab community for remarks made by his father.I dunno... whatever happened to "let the healing begin"?
Benjamin Emanuel told an Israeli newspaper that his son, who is Jewish, would "obviously influence the president to be pro-Israel".
He also referred to Arabs in a way which a leading Arab-American group called an "unacceptable smear".
"Obviously he'll influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn't he? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to be mopping floors at the White House."Oops.

What prominent leftnik said...
"The discovery that Hussein didn't have weapons after all surprises me, but it doesn't change my view of the essential issue."P.S. -- I guess he changed his mind, huh?
"I never thought the key question was what weapons he actually possessed but rather what intentions he had."
