Alert the Lieberman
Did you see that clip of “Joe the Plumber,” who — in their newest piece of excellent, thoughtful campaign strategy — has been brought onto the McCain team to speak for them around the country? He was asked by a Real American if he didn’t agree that Obama would be the “death of Israel.” Joe the Plumber agreed. Joe the Plumber is one of the greater meshugginahs to come up in the McCainiac horde recently. (But, of course, I forget Tito the Builder. I’m not making this up…they now have a Tito the Builder.)
Anyway, since it’s better to light one Shabat candle than to curse the darkness (”oy, you fakakte darkness!”), here is a video that should be shown to everybody’s grandparents in swing-state Florida. I know there’s that fancy clip about Israelis supporting Obama, but wouldn’t you rather hear some bubbie’s singin’ about it? (I would love to have been a fly on the wall of whatever community center these mamalehs gathered to record this, apparently on a vintage cassette recorder.)
