What Was He?
Perhaps this is a consequence of being a Lamont supporter, but whatever it is that Martin Peretz is trying to say here eludes us:
It is hard to imagine the current crop of Transportation Security Administration employees deployed in U.S. airports performing this delicate function. The interviewers are smart and young, mostly female, and on their way to other jobs. It was one of these El Al personnel who discovered, simply by talking with and closely observing a young Irish woman, that she had carried in her checked baggage a "gift" she had not seen, handed to her by a Palestinian boyfriend. She was also carrying his baby in her stomach. The boyfriend was a ... well, you understand what he was.
We don't, Marty.
A macaca?

The mask is slipping.
STOMACH!? What kind of infantile
language is that? The word that
over-educated, privileged fool
apparently can't bear to write is
"WOMB"! What an idiot! Great God
almighty, this clown is a member
of the journalistic "elite"? God
help us rubes in fly-over country!
Just be grateful he didn't refer to it as a "tummy"...
I think Peretz may be alluding to Swift's 'A Modest Proposal', and that the young Irish woman actually had EATEN the boyfriend's baby.
Mebbe she, y'know, ATE the baby! These (fill in the epithet)s are so savage, y'know... :-0
