Neoconservative ancien regime waves goodbye

Phun photos and quirky quotes from a Jewish historical society gala last night in New York for Seth Lipsky, the neoconservative former editor of the NY Sun, which, unh, doesnt publish any more. (Schadenfreude alert… Schadenfreude alert… all people of good faith please go to your cabins now!) Lipsky wears a bow tie. Also on hand, Elie Wiesel with what my wife would call a Jewfro. Philip Gourevitch. Jane Eisner of the Forward. Michael Steinhardt, neocon funder of publications. Adam Kirsch, talent to burn, the horse of history is passing outside the window, better jump out now Adam. Ed Koch. Bernie Nussbaum/Michael Mukasey, is there any difference? Lots o references to the Jewish state and Zionism. Ira Stoll who will be famous in the way that that umpire who destroyed Gallaraga’s perfect game last night will be famous, for one glaring moment of empowered stupidity, for writing that those of us who demonstrated against the Iraq war should be investigated for treason (Schadenfreude alert! shadenfreude alert!! All those with open hearts please leave the deck!!).
