Was that remark necessary?

Paul Brownfield’s column this morning rather annoyed me (“Thanks for Clearing That Up, Gov,” Nov. 13).

I couldn’t care less about his opinion of the second third-rate actor to become governor of this state. What I object to is his need to determine the supposed religion of one of his characters, i.e., Harry Tasker in “True Lies” (“Jewish? Sorry, never mind”). I ask you, Mr. Brownfield (Jewish? Sorry, never mind), was that of any value or necessity to your article?
