That bigot lady

Via The News Blog comes this unsettling little tidbit about Judith Regan, the book publisher fired by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation over the OJ Simpson book.
According to the executives and another person involved in the incident, Ms. Regan was investigated in the spring of 2003 after an editor complained that she had boasted of removing the scrolls from her neighbors’ mezuzas and replacing them with torn pieces from dollar bills.

A mezuza is a small slender case containing a scroll inscribed with a prayer that many Jewish families place beside their front doors.

The two executives said the company’s investigation had corroborated the employee’s account and Ms. Regan was reprimanded at the time.
What kind of person thinks that would be okay? Why would you do such a thing to your neighbors? Remember, Regan was one of Murdoch's stars. She only went too far when she decided it would be good to make money off of murder.
