I was just wondering what anyone's thoughts were on the recent Jackie Mason debacle where he refused to have a new comedian of Palestinian heritage open for him because he was of Palestinian heritage.
I mean. This is ridiculous now. I understand with the tragic events that happened and the one year since 9/11 that there may be some angered sentiment out there, but haven't we learned a godamned thing yet? I have read in the NY Times that this new comedian in question fought in Viet Nam for this country and has been trying to make it big in comedy for the past couple of years.
I like Jackie Mason, but for him to come out and say that about a guy who appears to be as far removed from the Middle East situation as SCORES STRIPPERS are to downtown Tehran, is just wrong.
Hey, like it or not folks, I am half Syrian and I still go into my favorite delicatessan (Kaplan's) in NYC and enjoy a nice big fat and hot Corned-beef on rye with mustard. That coupled with the fact that I'm also part Polish/German/Jewish makes me even more befuddled (and clueless). Nevertheless, I am first and formost an American! and I shall live and die an American. If I were a Frenchman, (in all likelihood) I would live and die as a Frenchman (and so forth).
The point is, if we are going to live here as Americans, we should do our best to support our fellow Americans - at least those who don't try to anthrax us, kidnap our children, rape our cattle, and spread E-Coli in our Jack-In-The-Boxes.
The previous message does not reflect those of any relevance.

Jackie Mason has a problem with anyone not named Jackie Mason.

You got THAT right, Ori!
He's a complete no-talent that just got lucky.
