Seriously.
This kind of idiocy cannot be made up.
But it's the kind of stupidity... the kind of political unforced error that has marked the Obama administration since it's beginning... much like the aforementioned removal of "God" from the democrat platform (just confirming what most already knew) combined with their equally moronic expulsion of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. Don't need those Jewish votes, eh, Mr. President?
But THIS?
SERIOUSLY?
THESE people have their finger on the nuclear trigger?
Re-election? They should all be dragged out to a funny farm with padded cells... and they want to be re-elected?.

ABC News’ Michael Falcone reports:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — This could get awkward.
Rabbi David Wolpe of Los Angeles’ Sinai Temple, where Monica Lewinsky and her family were congregation members for decades and where Lewinsky attended religious school, is scheduled to deliver the benediction at the Democratic National Convention tonight — not long after Bill Clinton speaks.
Not only was Wolpe the Lewinsky family’s rabbi, he also sharply condemned President Clinton at the time his sexual relationship with Lewinsky, then a 24-year-old White House intern, was dominating national headlines.

“He was a brilliant, talented, extraordinary child, and for the leader of the United States we need an adult,” Rabbi Wolpe told his temple, according to a 1998 Associated Press account. He said Clinton needed to “cleanse his soul.”
And other news reports from the time noted that Wolpe accused Clinton of hiding behind a “flinty legalistic apology,” for his romantic dalliances with the young intern.
