The Great Schlep and jolly 5769!

I am not a big fan of Sarah Silverman, who I find more crass than funny. It took a lot to sit through the whole of Jesus is Magic. I did enjoy the Silverman v. Jimmy Kimmel sing-off featuring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Now, comes another tiny step toward Silverman’s long-shot redemption. The Great Schlep campaign wants Jewish grandchildren to visit their grandparents in the sunshine state (“a little man named Al Gore got f****d by Florida”) and get them to vote for Barack Obama (“our last chance for ending this reputation as the assholes of the universe.”) The site provides talking points on the whole black thing, Israel and other foreign policy issues. Unfortunately, I couldn’t open the PDF. Perhaps Rosh Hashanah traffic.

Anyways, here’s Silverman making her pitch and happy 5769!



Tip of the hat to Mindy Gold over at Moment Magazine’s blog.
