Video: Jackie Mason Slams "sick yenta" Silverman's Great Shlep |
|
| Is Jackie Mason younger than he seems, or older than he wants to be? | ||

You'd be hard pressed to find a decent amount of medicare-qualifying folks who know what a blog is... But a vlog? Now, that's pushing it. Nevertheless, old school Jewish comedian Jackie Mason has tapped into the new-fangled youngsters' technology like few of his peers. But don't let him fool you. When it comes to politics, the generation gap is clear. Jewcy recently featured a video and a follow-up of Sarah Silverman's, "The Great Shlep." While it surely produced many Yiddish-intoned guffaws over Rosh Hashanah dinner, it has also sparked a backlash from the aforementioned grandpa of Jewish comedy. Mason's take: Sarah's got some chutzpah telling you how to vote. She's a sick yenta! (His words...) We'll let him tell you directly, and see what you think, since you're the boss of your ballot.
Just to give a clear picture of Mason's record on political commentary, have a look at this previous vlog entry of his, and then ask yourself what gap he's closing.

Only an oxymoron - Jewish Republican - would find this unfunny altecocker amusing.
Obama Silverman in 2012!

The one thing Jackie Mason has over John McCain is that he apparently knows how to use a computer.

Talk about sounding like a "sick yenta"... That garbled rant puts Mason much higher in the running for sounding like a sick yenta than Silverman.

Actually? An alta kaker yenta.
What has he accomplished? Oh yeah. He gave Ed Sullivan the Mediterranean high five.
Comedians get laughs from exaggeration. Jackie is an exaggeration of himself. Maybe that's why he's the only one laughing.

...why does this schmuck have a Japanese rising sun flag-like graphic zooming across the screen every few seconds. That was used by the military in W.W. II and retired after the war.

Is the "male" form of Yenta called Yent?
