Or is it actually McCain she’s stumping for? I think a case can be made for either. View and discuss.
At any rate, she’s forgiven — at least by me. Very few comics around play the self-conscious of being self-conscious game as well as Sarah does, which makes her a grand master in her field, even if her politics may (or may not) be puerile.
Plus, JEWS!

Comment by Bob Reed on 10/1 @ 1:01 pm #
Supposedly part of a push by the younger generation Jews to convince their elder generation that O! is as safe to vote for as any of the other Democrats that they may have supported over the years; as opposed to the portrait of hom that the eeeeeevil RethugliKKans are trying to paint about him…
I wonder what the explanation of Wright, Farrakhan, and all his arab buddies is..?

Sarah able to be racist AND support Obama at the same time – no wonder she’s ‘proud of herself’…

Comment by Mikey NTH on 10/1 @ 1:26 pm #
I saw that earlier. I didn’t think that she brought much of the funny to it. However, I am willing to encourage all of those young mane and women to expend the money and go visit their grandparents. I doubt they will influence the vote, but it will leave them with less money and time to do something politically useful.
Comment by McGehee on 10/1 @ 1:30 pm #
Well Mikey, you have to admit, “It’s me, Sarah … … Silverman!” was worth a chuckle. Ironic irony.
Comment by happyfeet on 10/1 @ 1:36 pm #
I like her. She’s entertaining. Some people don’t like her. Mostly girls. And for real I’ve heard a lot of Jewish guys say they don’t like her all that much. I didn’t really ask why though. I figured it was a thing.

Who says anonymous death threats don’t work on the elderly! Ha! I think I might have swung my state, which is well known for its active swinger communities.
If O! swings Flo this election is going to be a freakin’ blow-out, err, more of one anyway.

Comment by mgl on 10/1 @ 2:06 pm #
Yeah, I think she’s genuinely stumping for Obama, but in a far more congenial way than anything else I’ve seen from the Left this time around. The rest of them have managed an ultra-creepy combination of religious zeal with thuddingly oblivious self-seriousness. Exactly the kind of thing they claim to fear in “Christianists”, come to think of it.

Disgusting? Disgusting how? I hate to break it to her JAPiness, but Sarah Palin makes Sarah….Silverman look like a sack of rocks.
Comment by Log Cabin on 10/1 @ 2:39 pm #
I don’t think that all the leftarded hollywood types are really as much for Obama as they seem. They just want to work in the business. They are trying to stay trendy. They want to be with the ‘in crowd’.
Not a lot of courageous types to be found living in the hills above LA.

It’s possible the latter answers the former.
Comment by Puck on 10/1 @ 3:11 pm #
I so don’t get the “Sarah Silverman = hot” thing. A male friend of mine, who is Jewish (and conservative) insists that she’s a babe.
Though I don’t swing that way, I have no problems admitting that certain woman are downright yummy. Sarah Silverman, however, is not one of them.
Comment by RC on 10/1 @ 3:23 pm #
Good thinking, Sarah, ’cause the Jews have always done so well, historically, in all the last socialist/communist/dictatorial regimes.
Comment by cranky-d on 10/1 @ 3:46 pm #
I have a friend who refers to every passable female that will talk to him as “hot,” so one wonders what any man’s hotness scale looks like. I tend to be very selective on who gets the appellation, and I don’t think Sarah Silverman is hot. She is quite attractive, but hot is a special category of which she is not a member.

Call Lorne Michaels. Call Letterman. Hey funny guys. Watch and learn.
Comment by Republican on Acid on 10/1 @ 4:13 pm #
I think she is somewhat pretty. Her face is really long though – sort of a horse face. Her voice is cute and without it she wouldn’t even have an act (filthy mouth with the little cute voice – seriously, have a female friend of yours with a normal voice repeat her jokes and they just sound childish). So far I haven’t ever had a gut buster listening to any of her comedy but I have chuckled a little here and there.
She is of course what COOL white people like:

Imagine you are a wolf and you see a herd of people running away. Helen Thomas would be in the back unable to keep up with the rest, and thus be beautiful to a hard up carnivore.

You speak the truth. For the most part, at least. (See: Helen Thomas example)
Women are beautiful simply by possessing soft skin and not having that weird dangly thing between their legs.
Comment by lee on 10/1 @ 7:53 pm #
Silverman is NOT hot.
She’s like Ann Coulter. If you like her, she is attractive. If not, not even close.
I can see Silverman as pro-Obama, and doing this with the joke being how unlikely her older relatives are to vote for Obama, regardless of what they hear from whom.
I didn’t find it all that funny, possibly because I’m not Jewish.
Oh, let the denouncements begin…
Comment by thor on 10/1 @ 7:56 pm #
I might revenge bang sister Palin in an effort to make devil snakes exit her orifices. Outside of that sort of sexual savagery, don’t think I’d even arch my trajectory to sully her eyes from across the room.
Silverman, yeah, most doable. The mouth on that broad is something, eh.
Comment by McGehee on 10/1 @ 8:17 pm #
Yeah, I wouldn’t call Sarah Silverman hot. If I were 30-something and single and she was at a party with no date, I’d try to pick her up — but on the matter of hotness that proves nothing.
Comment by Answerman on 10/1 @ 11:56 pm #
I thought “You don’t have to tell the truth … use threats” marked her as a pure Obama supporter
As for hotness, she scores a 1 on my binary scale.

I won’t waste my valuable time watching Sarah Silverman (I never watched her before why start now) however, I am curious about one thing…. did she threatend to ’send over her black males friends to rape a woman if that woman visited NYC’ like her groupthink commedienne Sandra Bernhard?
Comment by B Moe on 10/2 @ 5:42 am #
No, Silverman is fairly clever and is several miles above Bernhard.

I have come back from the grave just like the original quell, because I have one burning question for Jeff that he will not answer in mail.
have you seen part 4 of the Palin Follies?
The very worst gaffe poor Palin has made so far……. She said there is a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PRIVACY. Isnt this Jeff’s bete noir, judicial activism? — Jeff MOCKS the liberal judiciary for “inventing” a right to privacy in the constitution. If you believe there is a right to privacy in the Constitution you are by their definition “legislating from the bench” — i thot conservatives wouldn’t even let a district court appointee get by with an answer like that, let alone a VICE PRESIDENT?
Lets see you spin that, Jeff.

Link please. The Supreme Court ruled there is a right to privacy, so in effect at the moment there is. Whether one agrees with that interpretation is a different matter.

I love Sarahm but I just wanted to point out that Baruch does not mean “lightning” but, even better, it means “blessed.” If you don’t believe me, check out this wonderful article by David Scheim in the Washington Post (August 28):

It’s well researched, with enough facts about Obama’s name to impress grandparents of other faiths as well!
Comment by Fat Man on 10/2 @ 1:30 pm #
Sarah Silverman is neither funny nor perceptive. If any non-trivial number of people follow her advice, we are all in a lot of trouble.
Feather: Sarah Silverman is an actor, not a Semitic Language Philologist. Obama’s given name may be derived from the Arabic word that is cognate to the Hebrew baruch or blessing. Or, it may be from the the Arabic word that is cognate to the Hebrew word that means lightning. It would depend on how the name is spelled in the base Semitic language. Without knowing the Arabic spelling of The One’s name (something that could probably only be garnered from his late father’s papers) I do not think that we can know which it is. I believe that he has cited both possibilities. It is also possible that the name comes from Luo or Swahili and may be a false cognate.
It really makes no difference. He is not a Muslim, nor is he a Christian. He is a Marxist-Leninist, and we are in deep kimchi.
