It’s often instructive or amusing to see how media folks elsewhere perceive our elected officials. Take Rep. Shelley Berkley. Of the descriptions of her I have read, one from the Jerusalem Post might be the topper: “If you were to trip over Shelley Berkley in the lobby of a five-star Jerusalem hotel, you might be excused for thinking you just bumped into your long lost Aunt Sadie. She dresses like Aunt Sadie, talks like her, has a passion for Israel like her and exudes warmth like her. Except for one major difference: Aunt Sadie was the head of her local Hadassah chapter, while Shelley Berkley, 58, is a six-term Democratic congresswoman from Las Vegas, five of those terms as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.” Too good.
