JL;DR SUMMARY Kathy Manning, a former U.S. Representative known for her strong support of Israel, will become the chair of the Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI), following her decision not to seek re-election in a newly redistricted and more Republican-leaning area. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
