Back to the daily From Lebanon segment on LBC-TV, which features "rich and famous" Lebanese, even if they are not Lebanese. Today, it featured former Sen. George J. Mitchell from Maine. Here is a story about Sen. Mitchell (whose mother had immigrated from Lebanon). A former student of mine in Washington, DC was working part-time in the US Senate. He was half-Lebanese. He once found himself in the same elevator with Sen. Mitchell, and he greeted him warmly, and asked him: "Do you speak Arabic? I heard that you are Lebanese." Very rudely, Sen. Mitchell told him: "I am Irish. I am not Lebanese." Keep bragging, LBC-TV. We are laughing at you.
