SOme people in the USA still don't get it. Yes, forgive the man who his antisemitism, but don't deny he said what he said and don't ignore why he said it. The man is an immigrant to the USA, applying for US citizenship and yet he carries within him the seeds of British antisemitism. Ask John Derbyshire, he will tell you. Social antisemittism is a reality in the USA. Tynan was very very wrong to say what he said and he should do penance for the rest of his life. He is a hypocrite, another damn Catholic antisemite! The gall! He comes to the USA to be an immigrant and he tries to lord it over other people. Sick sick man. And now he says it was just a joke. Sure. QUOTE" Tynan called Gold-von Simson to apologize and told NBC he intended his comment to be a joke. Tynan also told the Associated Press he is donating to KiDS of NYU, an NYU Langone children's health services foundation. Gold-von Simson said she accepted the apology, but is still horrified by Tynan's conduct. "The incident was not a joke," Gold-von Simson said Saturday, on her way to the Yankees game. "What bothered me, I think even more than the anti-Semitism it portrayed, was the hypocrisy of it all, that this is coming from a man who is an immigrant and who sings 'God Bless America' in Yankee Stadium."

Ben, good summary of diff reviews. one comment in NYT said this: Really Bad, Unfortunately This film offered nothing to hang on to - it offered a very ugly perspective on the culture, which is perhaps more hazardous than to attack the religious perspective. Everyone was ugly, every stereotype was illustrated offering no backdrop for the absurdity to play against. The film merely displayed an ugly culture doing shameful things with little point or consequence. When Woody Allen was in his prime, he addressed these questions with humor and charm. Neither of these was present in this film. It was just a group of people I did not have an interest in watching being irritating and either dooming themselves, or being doomed by fate. Not worth watching. It could have been done much better. An ugly film that missed the mark. — NotAHater, New York, NY

And the joyous welcoming party, govt sponsored that he got on the tarmac back in Libya a few hours later, after being released, with a Scottish flag also flying on the tarmac, greeted and hugged by Kaddaffi's son, in a joyous welcoming home party with arms raised and fists raised? Shame shame on Scotland! What a joke that compassionate release was? Kenny you really blew it. Ouch!
