Dog or Jew?" That is a pop quiz not from the Ayatollah Khamenei but from Lena Dunham writing in The New Yorker. Dunham, the gifted young basket case who writes and acts in the television series Girls, took to the pages of that esteemed magazine to trot out some vintage Catskills-worthy ethnic humor about Jews--they don't tip, the men are ruined by their overbearing mothers--and asked readers to guess whether she was talking about her Jewish boyfriend or her dog. Big laughs, to be sure. Critics suggested that maybe a moment in history in which Islamic extremists planning the extermination of the Jewish people while comparing them to dogs (and monkeys and pigs) is not the best time to be trafficking in Jewish stereotypes while deploying canine comparisons. Some went so far as to call the piece anti-Semitic. Dunham can plea-bargain down to feloniously bad taste, in which she is a repeat offender.
