Robert T. Nash, One More Gaffe
It's not as if Andy Berke was a close friend of Robert T. Nash. RTN was a fierce Berke detractor in the State Senatorial election. What on earth was RTN thinking calling him on the air (or anywhere else for that matter) a "white Jew lawyer"? Is he nuts?
I don't think RTN is some kind of conscious racist, I just think he's a blowhard with no talent beyond a peculiar case of redneck verbal-diarrhea.

Berke is white, I assume he is Jewish (based on the furor here - I don't personally know what his chosen faith it), and he is (or was) a lawyer.
So, what exactly is pejorative in what he said? Please don't say it is because of "how Nash said it". That is so subjective.
Is it because Nash left "ish" off of "Jew"?
Is it because he merely mentioned Berke's religion?
