On the very day last week that Louis Farrakhan held a press conference in Baghdad to accuse the United States of engaging in "terrorism" against Iraq and of being "the greatest threat to world peace," the Nation of Islam leader's supply-side acolyte, Jude Wanniski, penned the essay that followers of Wanniski's Web-site rantings have long anticipated: "Why Jews Are Different." A sample of the Wanniski mind at work: "While the population of the world has gone to 6 billion, with Jews now only a tiny fraction at 13 million, that small number is the most powerful and educated and talented, pound for pound, than [sic] any other group. With all the terrible things that civilization has endured for these millennia, Jews have traveled through as if on their own private spaceship."
Now, which spaceship would that be? The one with the evil scientist Yacub that Farrakhan took a ride on?
