[Marxism] on Sen Mitchell

Back to the daily From Lebanon segment on LBC-TV, which features "rich and
famous" Lebanese, even if they are not Lebanese. Today, it featured former
Sen. George J. Mitchell from Maine. Here is a story about Sen. Mitchell
(whose mother had immigrated from Lebanon). A former student of mine in
Washington, DC was working part-time in the US Senate. He was half-Lebanese.
He once found himself in the same elevator with Sen. Mitchell, and he
greeted him warmly, and asked him: "Do you speak Arabic? I heard that you
are Lebanese." Very rudely, Sen. Mitchell told him: "I am Irish. I am not
Lebanese." Keep bragging, LBC-TV. We are laughing at you.
