From Mike Allen’s Politico Playbook for this weekend:
–PEOPLE magazine: “Clinton is Methodist and Mezvinsky is Jewish, but it’s unlikely either will convert, says a source, adding, ‘It will be an interfaith ceremony.’ …
WEDDINGS:
–Anne Kornblut and Jon Cohen, in Napa. Campbell Brown is a bridesmaid, Dan Senor is doing the ketubah ceremony, Jessica Yellin will read a poem (sans teleprompter). Guests include Laura and Bill Burton, Stephanie Cutter, Sarah Feinberg, Todd Harris, Leibo and Russ Schriefer.
I’m out of it, so I searched the power people at second wedding. Cohen, the groom, is a Washington Post pollster. Kornblut is a reporter for the Post who I often see on MSNBC. Here she reports for the Post on her own wedding guest Sarah Feinberg– very incestuous, huh?– who was an aide to Rahm Emanuel (who by the way is Jewish and took a vacation in the Occupied Golan Heights recently) and is now at Bloomberg (which is owned by Mike Bloomberg, mayor of New York, etc). Campbell Brown converted to Judaism to marry Dan Senor, the AIPAC apparatchik. Todd Harris is the Republican consultant on Chris Matthews all the time who strikes a neconnish tone re the Islamic world. Jessica Yellin is a CNN anchor; no data. Bill Burton is another Obama aide. So is Stephanie Cutter. Russ Schriefer, another political consultant on the right, son of a Long Island butcher, seems to have married up. His wife Nina Easton works at Fortune and was formerly married to Ron Brownstein, per Wikipedia. Seems that Nina is Episcopalian; but that’s the point, there are plenty power goyim here too.
And I bet that with folks like Senor and Harris there, Zionism is written into the Kornblut-Cohen ketubah (formal agreement in Jewish weddings).
Though I bet the Clinton intermarriage will have its share of dinner-table fights about Zionism. NBC said that George Soros would play a part in the Clinton wedding; he’s a liberal Zionist. But Marc Mezvinsky’s uncle is the great Norton Mezvinsky, an anti-Zionist. And Chelsea’s got to be hip…
