Tony Lake is Jewish

Anthony Lake, Barack Obama's main foreign policy advisor recently converted to Judaism.

Here's a very entertaing clip from a speech he gave to students at the Bronfman Center at NYU: Anthony Lake on Being Jewish

As Lake recounts, Nixon wasn't too fond of him.


From the transcripts of the Nixon tapes:


Nixon: Well Tony Lake always seemed Jewish.


Haldeman: I don't think so. I wondered about that.


Nixon: He looked it.


Haldeman: I know.

Tony Lake resigned as Kissinger's assistant when Kissinger ordered the secret bombings of Cambodia.

Hmmm.
