Chuck Schumer, Matchmaker
Come on, now, Dr. Althouse: this is surely the best thing we've ever read about the Honorable Chuck Schumer.
The man's only doing what his Jewish faith suggests to him is the most helpful thing he can do. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with an old man advising the young on how to achieve the greatest happiness that life offers, and helping them to find the path? The young find this thing very hard, even mystifying: goodness knows I did.
We've gone a long way from what makes sense if we get mad about something like this. Yes, Republicans who did it would be mistreated; but that doesn't change the fact that it is mistreatment, which those interested in justice ought to avoid rather than repeat. What does anyone look for at that age more than love? What should anyone look for more than true love? That the man has helped so many find it is a mark of an unsuspected virtue in one we more often encounter as a bare-knuckled political opponent.

Althouse is out of her tree! What a pinched, dried-up post.
Great clip, by the way: a gloriously young Deborah Kerr.
You know, it's actually Maureen O'Hara! They looked a lot alike. The clip is from The Quiet Man, which is a wonderful movie that I highly recommend if you've not seen it.
Was it really? I even looked up "The Matchmaker" to confirm that Kerr was in it, never dreaming that the clip was from "The Quiet Man." I never realized they looked so much alike. Gorgeous, anyway.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
"The Quiet Man" is my favorite John Wayne movie :-P
Aye on the Quiet Man as a favorite. I also agree with opinion of Ms. O'Hara being a gorgeous lady and a grand thespian, NTTATWWT.
The Doctor's post, well, Tex gave it a good appraisal. Granted, my agreement with that appraisal might be due in no small part to my opinion of the subject, the Senator.
