What's a "friend?"
1-A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.I don't trust "just anyone's" opinion of what's kosher, and when it comes to American politics and Israel, I trust Craig Karpel and not this Robert Wexler. Wexler is an ambitious American politician. He also has a very peculiar "sense of humor" and was recently involved in a scandal, due his poor judgement. Read this from Wikipedia:
2-A person whom one knows; an acquaintance.
3-A person with whom one is allied in a struggle or cause; a comrade.
4-One who supports, sympathizes with, or patronizes a group, cause, or movement: friends of the clean air movement.
On the July 20, 2006 episode of The Colbert Report, during an interview for the segment Better Know a District, Wexler jovially went along with Stephen Colbert's idea of making fake statements that, if he were campaigning in a contested election, would effectively end his career. Led by Stephen Colbert, he jokingly responded with the following statements (see video):
“I enjoy cocaine because... it's a fun thing to do.
I enjoy the company of prostitutes for the following reasons: ... because it's a fun thing to do. Much like cocaine. If you combine the two together, it's probably even more fun.”
Now, is this someone whose judgement you'd trust? I wouldn't trust him, not one iota.
