Bulls are very large and potentially dangerous animals. To make bulls easier to control and handle, the bull may be given a nose ring. Bulls have a piece of tissue called a septum between their nostrils. This tissue is very sensitive, so the bull becomes compliant and easily led when a person [a "handler"] grabs hold of the ring.

Like every Western politician, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is an annoying philo-Semite.

Among other things, he has a personal acquaintance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, toward whom he displays an embarrassing servility, dating to 1976 when they worked for the Boston Consulting Group.

“We can almost speak in shorthand,” Romney boasts.

In a televised debate Romney criticized an anti-Palestinian remark Newt Gingrich made by saying in front of millions of people, “Before I made a statement of that nature, I’d get on the phone to my friend Bibi Netanyahu and say: ‘Would it help if I say this? What would you like me to do?’”

One of Romney’s key handlers is 40-year-old (Romney is 65) “foreign policy adviser” Daniel Samuel Senor, the man behind Romney’s recent trip to Israel. According to media reports, Senor is an observant Jew.

Tablet Magazine, an online Jewish publication, recently profiled him. (Allison Hoffman, “Romney’s Jewish Connector: How Dan Senor became the GOP candidate’s key emissary to Israel’s intelligentsia and the Washington policy scene,” July 27, 2012.)

Senor, the publication states, “offers the socially awkward [Romney] the thing his campaign most craves: an easy ability to make people like him.”

What did American oafs do before they had ubiquitous Jewish handlers to guide them?

Senor is described as the GOP candidate’s key emissary for the past six years to Israel’s intelligentsia, the American Jewish community, and Washington DC’s Jewish foreign policy Establishment.

His sister, Wendy Senor Singer, is a former Democratic congressional staffer who heads the Jerusalem office of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Washington’s most powerful lobby. She “has the ear, and the direct phone number of just about everyone in the Israeli government.”

Brother-in-law Saul Singer, Wendy’s husband, now a fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute, is a former Republican congressional staffer and longtime editor and columnist for the Jerusalem Post. He and Senor co-wrote a successful book about Israel’s “economic miracle.”

Imagine how corrupt Israel’s economy is. Would you buy stock in an Israeli company?

Senor claims his mother was a “Holocaust” survivor and his grandfather died at Auschwitz. He invests the tale with great melodrama—oh, such suffering the world’s tyrants endure!

I’m sure Romney, like Senor, basks in the tale’s sacred glow. And no reporter will look into the matter.
