Peretz Just Can't Resist

Marty Peretz, no doubt vacationing in Paris on the dime of his heiress wife, just can't resist a jab at Muslims:

"To be sure, I did not go the banlieues where the vast numbers of Muslims, mostly North African Arabs, have concentrated. Paris center is a segregated city. You have to go far beyond the boulevards of Baron Haussmann even to notice the people who have transformed French society for the worse and stimulated its politics to the good."

It gets even better. When fantasizing about Muslim women, he notes:

"They wore make-up including lip liner and provocative lines around their eyes; their hair had been to a hairdresser at least as expensive as John Edwards."



Zing!!! A gratuitous shot at John Edwards too!

How in the world did this guy get to run (into the ground) a major magazine?
