I attended a gala fundraiser with many liberal and leftist elite. At one point in the proceedings a woman feted a local actor with platitudes from the podium. Apropos of nothing except the fact I had drank 6 Bacardi mixers in 2 hours, I shouted out the question, “But is he a Zionist?!”

The mood shifted immediately. Despite my drunken stupor I felt the oxygen sucked from the room. Several doyennes shot me evil looks. I have no position politically, I merely wanted to destroy the evening, and mission accomplished. I sauntered out proudly and spent the next hour m*********** in my car.
