Slackjaw sentorian Fred Thompson may be thoroughly red state, but he loves them funny Jews! Favorite comedian? Jackie Mason. And that just might be political poison.
Cindy Adams reported a while back that the lurching mouth gaper can be found backstage when Mason performs on Broadway. Well, that didn't work out so well for Rudy Giuliani.
Now, Fred, do you remember 1989? No? You were probably too busy laying down your Southern Mojo on Dana Delany on the set of China Beach. And, hey, we don't blame you. She's hot! Truth is we hardly remember that year since we spent some of it frying our brains at Grateful Dead shows. But that was the year Jackie and Rudy were banging around New York together. The two were totally BFFs until Mason called then New York Mayor Dinkins "a fancy schvartze with a mustache." Not cool. New York jews and blacks, they have their problems. Anyway, just saying.
