A young Milwaukee county executive with big dreams responded to a letter from a Jewish constituent. Scott Walker, now Wisconsins governor, signed off, Thank you again and Molotov.
We presume what Walker was going for was the Hebrew phrase mazel tov, which Jewish people (and the Black Eyed Peas) use when congratulating others on momentous occasions. Molotov, on the other hand, is usually coupled with cocktail, and is an improvised explosive, which is probably not what Walker wished upon the letter recipient.
Like an American struggling to speak the language in a foreign country, Walker certainly deserves some credit for trying. Hebrew is hard.
