Washington Post's Nora Boustany has earned her editors' respect by faithfully subscribing to the standards of the White Man in her long career of journalism. Here, she write a very unfunny piece about political humor in Lebanon. She clearly has made some of these up, and changed some old jokes to please her readers. Notice how comfortable she is with sectarian and classist jokes. Would the Post dare publish racist humor? (thanks Laleh)
