FOXMAN-HUNTING

When Safire is hot, he’s smokin’. Today’s column is a beaut, revealing that Anti-Defamation League head Abraham Foxman not only accepted $250,000 from March Rich on behalf of the ADL but actually hatched the idea of Denise Rich being used as an interlocutor for her ex-husband’s pardon. It took Foxman several weeks after the first Rich revelations to cough up this amazing fact, more grist for “The Jews Made Me Do It” defense of the pardons. Safire lets his old buddy off lightly, in my opinion. Foxman should quit over this, surely.
