Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes says that he has arrested an unprecedented 89 men on child sex-abuse charges in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn over the past couple of years

Sexual abuse survivors and their advocates have long harried Hynes for overlooking molesters in the borough’s tight-knit, ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities. They charge that Hynes fears political retaliation from the borough’s powerful rabbinic leaders and their bloc-voting Orthodox Jewish voters. Unfortunately, Hynes has a long history of pandering to ethnic and racial minorities - such as the Jews - so it is unlikely that he will do anything to alienate the powerful rabbis who control much of the Jewish vote in parts of New York City.

No doubt the ADL and the SPLC will be on the case soon.

There are rumors that Obama is our first black president and our first gay president.

Man, a twofer.
