Scott Sherman has taken it upon himself to compile a list of 50 Oy-vey inducing members of the tribefrom politics, entertainment and white collar crimewho make it tougher than it already isto be a Jew these days. Notables include: Barbara Streisand:Mere presence convinces every untalented Jew they can become a star... and too much with the politicking! Who elected you? Judge Judy:Who thought it was a good idea to give a Jewish grandmother a television show in which her opinions are legally binding? Releasing the wrath of bubbie onto the world is a cruel, cruel thing to do. Eliot Spitzer:Will Mr. Spitzer's dalliances and indiscretions prevent Jews from pursuing law degrees? Of course not. We are, if anything, a litigious people. Leonard Nimoy:A Jew playing a pointy-eared halfalien? Everybody thinks we're strange and foreign enough as it is! Bernie Madoff:Where to begin?? Life is hard enough without having to be concerned that your esteemed brethren are really sleeper-schmucks lying in wait, biding their time for the perfect moment to completely ruin your life. Laura Shlessinger:Referred to herself in a Los Angeles Times Magazineprofile as "a prophet." Let's be nice and call that a stretch.
