Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University grad student who has figured large in the latest birth control controversy, and who may figure large in Rush Limbaugh’s obit ("whose career was cut short by…") has a Jewish boyfriend.
Adam Mutterperl, a Jewy Jewish boyfriend. He’s the son of Bill Mutterperl, who apparently figures big in Democratic politics.
This first came to light when Bill O’Reilly made a big deal of her boyfriend’s father’s Democratic ties, as part of the contortive efforts by some on the right to suggest that she was part of a setup.
(No one told Rush to call her a slut. And why would it be surprising that a witness called by congressional Democrats precisely because of her experience as a reproductive rights activist would have ties on the left? It’s a little like decrying Michele Obama’s obesity program by noting: "But wait! Guess who she’s married to?")
Now someone named Brooks Bayne has written a screed, posted on site called The Graph that purports to uphold all things American, tying Fluke to all manner of nefarious Jewish socialism.
I was composing my own anti-screed, but I see the Tablet’s Marc Tracy has already done so, and better than I could. I too laughed when I discovered that the Mutterperls’ involvement in the Jewish Federations of North America was somehow emblematic of their socialist bent. Bayne cites the following incriminating passage from the JFNA website:
The Federation movement, collectively among the top 10 charities on the continent, protects and enhances the well-being of Jews worldwide through the values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah (charity and social justice) and Torah (Jewish learning).

So go read Marc’s piece and let me just add two more Jewy insights:
Adam Mutterperl is a comedian/producer who made "The Finkel Files," a cartoon about a boy who wants to be a rock singer but whose parents send him to "rabbi camp," and who obsesses about the Catholic girls across the lake. (Ummm… Georgetown as Catholic girls camp? I like it.)
It never got beyond a pilot on Cartoon Network in 2006, but here’s the trailer:
One more thing: The Graph’s "about" page notes the following:
Where did the name “The Graph” come from? It’s a mix between the throwback to old news services using the term “Telegraph” in their name and today’s newest news source, the social graph, from which the news in our Buzz feature is aggregated.
Well, we share that with it. And an obsession with Jews.
