So today the Republican Jewish Coalition (all 3 of them) released a video starring Jacki Mason in response to Sarah Silverman’s Great Schlep video:
Why didn’t I imbed the Jacki Mason video? Well first, the RJC clearly never heard of Youtube, because the Jacki Mason video is in some wacky player that doesn’t work on my Mac. (I ended up having to watch it on a friends PC.) Mason makes two jokes in the video. They weren’t funny. In fact I only could identify them as jokes because of the canned laughter inserted into the video. The first joke:
Just because I voted against John Kerry does that mean I hate gentiles.
Yea, I didn’t get it either. Then he calls Sarah Silverman a "stupid yenta." Hmmm. Mason’s major point seems to be that Silverman gives no reason Jews should vote for Obama. Clearly he did not watch the video because he would have noticed that at 2:55 Silverman points out the truth:
Barack Obama’s foreign policy is much more stabelizing than John McCain’s and much better for Israel.
So nice try RJC – but next time, how about using a spokeperson who can talk without spitting.

Jackie Mason?!?! He was old hat when I was a kid and he got kicked off the Ed Sullivan show. (I’m 61, b’god!)
I guess they chose him to make John McCain look young.
Jackie Mason is a Republican I thought all comedians were Democrats?
Yet he still has a full head of brown hair.
Try again. Need I remind you of Dennis Miller? Maybe you meant funny comedians?
It’s brown, but is it hair???
He has done a complete 180 on McCain. He previously called McCain “… a blatant out and out disgusting lowlife.”
Cobernicus @ 1 I remember that. Saw it live. Mason was flipping the bird because they were signaling him to cut it as his routine was running too long. Never liked him anyway.
