An open letter to Sarah Silverman:
(Cross-posted on kos.)
Dear Sarah,
You were a progressive hero in 2008, urging children and grandchildren to Schlep or call Bubbie in Fla. and urge her to vote for Obama. And of course, you and the Schleppers succeeded, as you wrote:
Thank you, Schleppers! You called Nana, You wrote to Bubbie. And you schlepped on down and sat with Zadie. And because of you hundreds of thousands of Jews voted for Obama in Florida, more than making the difference in that state.
Well, we’re now at crunch time again. We need everyone — not just Nana and Bubbie, but Gram, Popsie, Abuelito and Pater (i.e., not just Jews) to turn out (and not just in Florida) to stop the O’Donnell’s, Angles, Rubios, Bucks et al. from unleashing their lunacy as a majority in Congress.
Do we really want hearings on whether Obama is actually a cactus? Shouldn’t teabagging be returned exclusively to its original beautiful meaning?
