Courtney Love Knocks Jews ... in Jewish Magazine

(Newser) – Courtney Love says she’s sober, but her recent anti-Semitic remarks in a Jewish magazine might give some observers pause, the New York Post reports. “Every time you buy a Nirvana record, part of that money is not going to Kurt’s child, or to me, it’s going to a handful of Jew loan officers, Jew private banks,” the former Hole singer told Heeb.

The potty-mouthed Love, has a Jewish but but practices Buddhism, also articulates her thoughts about dating actors, being a parent, and all-girl bands. She takes on expletive-deleted "riot grrls sitting there banging on pots and pans and talking about their vaginas. That’s all really lovely, but the music blows.”

I just read this little item out of curiosity after coming across it in a result set from a Google search about a completely different subject. I find the short article confusing. For example, one sentence states that Ms. Love "has a Jewish but but practices Buddhism..." What's a Jewish but but?

The newser editor may have fallen asleep at the wheel when posting this one. The 2nd paragraph has an end quote, but not start.. and has a mix of words "jewish but but".. What about jewish peoples butts?
