Schmucks!
Errol Phillips, an "Independent Jewish Conservative" with whom I regularly trade e-mails, wrote today telling me that I need to pick up a copy of Schmucks!, a new book penned by comedian Jackie Mason. According to Phillips, these folks are on Mason's schmuck-list:
Bill Clinton
Mel Gibson
Barbra Streisand
Katie Couric
Reform Jews
Jimmy Carter
Al Sharpton
Here's more 'bout Schmucks! from the book's dust jacket:
"Jackie Mason, one of the true kings of comedy, and his partner in crime, federal prosecutor and celebrity attorney Raoul Felder, go after America's lowlifes, scumbags, and everything else that really gets on their nerves.
"This book spares no one. Politicians, sports stars, celebrities, corporations, publishers, crossing guards—they're all fair game. If you are a scumbag, or just someone who Jackie and Raoul find annoying, there is a fair chance you are on the list.
"Schmucks! combines Mason's and Felder's nails-to-the-wall political satire with insightful observations on the foibles of modern life to create material that will leave you crying with laughter."
