http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/jared-kushner-says-he-read-up-on-middle-east-during-minutes-waiting-for-ski-liftJARED KUSHNER SAYS HE READ UP ON MIDDLE EAST DURING MINUTES WAITING FOR SKI LIFT
BAGHDAD (The Borowitz Report)Jared Kushner said on Tuesday that he became incredibly well-informed on the Middle East by reading up on the region while waiting for the ski lift on a recent trip to Aspen.
There would be times when youd have to wait five or even ten minutes for the ski lift, and thats when Id take out my phone and read up on the Middle East, he said. I really got into it.
Kushner said that the Middle East was a truly fascinating region because of all the countries that they have there.
There is Israel, and Egypt, but there is also Yemen and places like that, he said. Sometimes I would start learning about a new country, but then the ski lift would come.
