A recent New York Times article on disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff is worth a read, if for nothing else than a good chuckle. The former lobbyist, caught in a corruption scandal, is living in a halfway house and working at a Kosher pizza parlor in Baltimore. But, it appears the NYT reporter has never met what I suspect to be an Israeli, judging by the name of the establishment (it means ‘Good pizza’ in Hebrew) and the demeanor of the owner, Mr. Rosenbluth.
Mr. Rosenbluth says he is hoping that he can get help with marketing strategies from Mr. Abramoff, who used to run Signatures, a kosher restaurant in Washington.
By “marketing,” Mr. Rosenbluth does not mean that Mr. Abramoff will win notoriety for his establishment — though he clearly has, since the media attention has been steady and, judging from Mr. Rosenbluth’s disposition, somewhat annoying. “I have a restaurant I need to run,” he said.
