Rabbi Bunko

The Rubashkin family really are too much !

The same family that brought us Aaron's brand - cruel but ostensibly kosher meats; the owners of Agriprocessors - one of the most awful meat packing plants in the U.S. (see my earlier blog entries on this subject), have now been fined for illegally storing toxic chemicals at a textile plant they owned. To top it off, they apparently denied owning the property, when questioned by U.S. federal officials.

Read all about it on Ha'aretz.

My favorite quote from the article:

Rubashkin's brother-in-law is the prominent Republican fundraiser Rabbi Milton Balkany, nicknamed Rabbi Bunco, due his fundraising tactics.

These guys give Shylock a bad name.
