I was shocked enough to get this email from a friend who I thought had some smarts & common sense to resurrect this blog after all these years. (What makes it worse is that the man purports to be interested in interreligious dialogue! Has he no shame?? May the good Lord have mercy on him!!!)

Begin forwarded message:
How did people with such radical crazy ideas get into such high positions in the US Government. Leave it to an inept radical like Obama to hire a radical Iranian. He still intends to spend millions more of tax payer money to pack our country with lunatics..
In case you didn't know, this is Obama's top adviser. Feel better now?

Ahem... One would think that the fact that her name was NOT 'Jarrett' as a college student (it's her married surname) would have been a tip off that this is just some cretin defaming her. Even something so obvious won't stop folks from badmouthing those that they disagree with politically. And no: she is not Iranian, she is an American born overseas while her father was on a physician exchange program! Several of our GOP presidential contenders were Americans born abroad (notably John McCain born in Panama and Ted Cruz in Canada), and you don't hear folks denying their nationalities like this. Abetting this wickedness by forwarding this email is a sin against life: every human being has a right to their good name and reputation according to the catechism. Even when they have actually committed a crime or have mortal failings or character flaws, it is terribly, terribly sinful to gossip or publicize those facts, but to LIE about them is just abominable! Sometimes I just get so disgusted with what my country has become!
(And NO: "both side" most certainly do NOT do things like this!)
