Jackie's joke
Borscht-belt comedian Jackie Mason, whose new Broadway show is closing next week after lackluster attendence, has always promoted himself as an equal opportunity offender. Well, it seems to have gotten him into some trouble now. "Polish people hate the Jews, they just don't remember why," Mason told a New York radio show host. That commented prompted a lashing by the Polish American Congress' Anti-Bigotry Committee (yes, it does exist). Mason's spokesperson didn't help much when he told the New York Daily News, "God bless American democracy when crackpot groups can be heard in the media." Oy.
