Take My Candidate, Please!
GOPer Jennifer Horn, running for Congress in NH's Second District, issued a statement this morning announcing that comedian Jackie Mason has endorsed her. (Yes, I.Am.Speechless. First time for everything, I suppose ... )
Mason: “First, I think she is one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met and no one loves her Country or the state of New Hampshire more than she does. Jennifer is someone who can make me proud of our Congress again.
"I’ve known Jennifer for a long time. She is someone of character and courage. She is passionate about the issues and will make a great member of the United States Congress. We need more people like her in Washington. She never had any personal ambitions. Her only concern was to help people regardless of the time or effort and sacrifice involved. For a comedian like me, I always found her a disappointment because I always found her too preoccupied to appreciate any joke I told her. She was always too emotionally involved with projects and the problems of people she was trying to help.
"More importantly she is not a political operative or a career politician - we have enough of them in Washington already.
"Jennifer is a real person. She is a mother, a former radio show host, a columnist, and a community activist. We’ve given politicians and lawyers a chance and they have screwed things up for everyone. It’s time we give someone else a try.”

Love Jackie Mason, but that is the least substantive endorsement I've ever seen. "She's a real person." Uh huh, and.......?

Why use a Henny Youngman joke for the title of a news item about Jackie Mason?
