Dear Brad: You're an Asshole. Love, Zack .

Due to advances in gay rights, D.C. fags can now afford to be as bigoted and idiotic as the rest of the world. Case in point: Last Thursday, I went to see the Gaylarious comedy showcase at Town. The headlining (and best) performer was Judy Gold (pictured), who derives much of her humor from being a Jewish lesbian. Early into her set, she asked if anyone present had kids and got heckled by one truly obnoxious audience member as a result. She quickly told him to shut the fuck up and continued her set.

Later, though, this same dickwad interrupted another joke to scream "Go make some biscuits, Jew." She immediately had him ejected, to great applause, and finished her routine with no further incident — though its worth noting that Mr. Interjection proudly raised his hand when Judy asked who had made the comment.

Since then I've been wondering who the hell is both dumb and ignorant ignorant enough to A) Think it was OK to use "Jew" as an epithet in public and B) Believe there is a historical Jew/Biscuit connection. Luckily, our old friend Craigslist has come through with an answer.

Frequent TNG commenter Parker tipped us off to this missed connection. Apparently, our anti-semitic friend is named "Brad T." and his equally charming buddies refused to pay his tab after he was kicked out. There's no possible way that Brad T. could try and justify this behavior, right?

Wrong. Brad T. actually posted a follow-up, where he blames his actions on having too much to drink and a misguided attempt to be funny. Michael Richards tried to be funny once too, Brad. It didn't work either. Brad also claims not to be anti-semitic.

I actually believe that last point, because a true anti-semite does their research. "Go make some money, Jew" would work. "Go get some rhinoplasty, Jew." That could also be accurate, as stereotypes go. But go make some biscuits? Have I missed something? Unless KFC is replacing Manishewitz as the world's foremost Passover supplier, it appears Brad can't even get his misconceptions right.

I was also told after the show that Brad is well-known for getting kicked out of all sorts of D.C. gay bars, so if anyone else has a Brad T. story they should feel free to post it here. And let this be a lesson, homos. Just because you've gone your whole life being mocked as an outsider doesn't give you the right to turn around and do it to someone else. Also, be careful who you heckle.

I'm a big fan of the Southern Jew (any Jew from Charleston will tell you non-stop that the city once had the largest Jewish concentration outside of New York). And any good Southerner knows how to make biscuits.

As a Jew, and a Southern Jew at that, I'd like to know who this Brad T. fellow is so next time I see him around town I can give him an earful. Anyone know the surname? He sounds like a douche, but wouldn't be the first anti-semitic gay guy I've met here in DC. There's more of them out there than you'd think.
