(You all know Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song. Well, here's another version...)

CHANUKAH SONG

Put on your yarmulke, here comes Chanukah,
So much fun-ikah to celebrate Chanukah,

When you feel like the only Jew in the GOP,
Here’s a list of people who are Jewish, just like you and me.

Mayor Norm Coleman lights the menorah,
He makes Minnesota liberals so, so sore-ah.

White House Press Secretary, Ari Fleischer,
Hopes Helen Thomas takes a vacation to make Chanukah even nice-sher.

Guess who spins the dreidel to the Chanukah hits,
Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz.

Dennis Prager’s Jewish, Michael Medved is, too,
Put them on Politically Incorrect and the liberals turn to goo.

You don’t need to listen to Joe Lieberman whine,
‘Cause you can get some chocolate gelt from Republican Ben Stein.

Hillary Clinton, not a Jew,
(let's just leave it at that.)

We’ve got Dr. Laura, and Charles Krauthammer,
Horowitz and Jacoby hope Clinton gets put in the slammer.

So put on your yarmulke, it’s time for Chanukah
Don’t forget your harmonica, it’s time to celebrate Chanukah

So drink your gin and tonica, but skip the marijuanica (we’re not Libertarians!)
And have a happy, happy, happy, happy Chanukah!

My Gosh, so many great and glorious patriotic Jews! May God bless America, and Israel!

You hit a nerve with #25, and it was one of mine...

Happy Chanukah from Brooklyn!

Dennis Prager's show is syndicated nationally now, and he is on programs like Politically Incorrect and sometimes on Fox, too, I think. Sometimes his essays are in the WSJ and the LA Times, but I agree with you, there needs to be more of Dennis out there.

Rudy in the Holy Land.

From Ari's WH briefing yesterday:

Later this afternoon, in one of the ceremonial joys that comes with the job, the President will take part in a photo opportunity with the University of Minnesota 2001 NCAA Championship Men's Wrestling Team.

Q That's one of the great joys of this job? (Laughter.)

MR. FLEISCHER: Yes.

Q One of the others is meeting with the winners of the World Series, I understand. (Laughter.)

MR. FLEISCHER: Speaking of wrestling, questions come later, Helen.

This evening, the President will take part in the lighting of the Menorah here at the White House, which will be the first time -- we are advised -- in presidential history that a President will have a lighting of a Menorah as an event in the Residence of the White House. And then will have a Hanukkah reception later today.

HA HA! It's always funny when Ari makes a little joke at Helen's expense.

[AriFan]

The lyrics are a riot! Wonderful! LMAO....... and I love the Ari line the best of course.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Thanks! I remember during Rosh Hashana, someone in the press crowd wished Ari a happy New Year, but so far, I haven't heard anyone wish him a happy Chanukah.

Chai CCC! That's a Chanukah "Hi!" : )

(And, look at that...your post is #18, and 18=Life=Chai (the 2 letters in Hebrew - CCCChhhet and Yood.)
Hmmm...is there a Klezmer version of the "Twilight Zone" theme? : )

Thanks for the ping CCC!

: )

Nice photo...Rudy was way ahead of the crowd when he threw Arapigfat out of Lincoln center.

Third night bump! I'm frying latkes RIGHT NOW! The secret is to fry them a long time- 5 to 10 minutes on each side so they are dark and crispy on the outside and soft and white on the inside.

A Chanukah gift from the Diamondbacks!

Chanukah samayach!

I didn't even recognize Randy Johnson when that was on TV. He must've finally gone to a barber.

[Cinnamon Girl]

I'm glad he got his hair up to date. When I first saw him pitching in the World Series, I thought they were showing clips of him back in the 70's.

Eighth night Happy Chanukah!
