bastion of whatever they think they are. To pretend they are anything else would be ludicrous. And the female CEO should ignore the club, except to make a public comment, if asked. Much the way Obama handles the overt racism against him. He continues doing an excellent job, and handles the racism with class and makes the racists all the more petty and backward.

It's a private club, so they can refuse to allow whoever they want to as members, whether Jewish or female or Af. American. It's their club. I'm just disappointed that Buffet is a member.
