Was Jackie Mason always on the dark side?

[Khephra]

He's Clinton bashing on Hannity and Colmes.

[fujiyama]

1. i remember

once seeing a clip of him playing golf with nixon or ford...so my guess is he's been on their side for a while now...

either way he's not that funny.

[UTUSN]

2. I Was Going to Start a Thread, but You Did

Mine was going to be, "Has Jackie MASON Died, or is tha t just his body talking" -------------or, something like that. He's a disgusting idiot, but we all knew that.

[diplomats]

3. I thought he was a has-been

Someone should tell him Clinton's not president anymore.

[UTUSN]

5. It's Always Disappointing When

who-should-have-been-your-natural-bro

"turns" - it hurts. But who cares.

[Flying_Pig]

4. Yes, always...

and not that funny either....

[supernova]

6. Yes, I think he's always been very right-wing

Didn't Jackie Mason get into some hot water several years ago over some racial slurs in his act?

[OneBlueSky]

7. Jackie Mason is, and always has been . . .

a pig . . . and a right wing one at that . . .

[Lydia Leftcoast]

8. Well, he's never been funny

I remember back in the late 1950s and early 1960s when he was on the Ed Sullivan Show every week, or so it seemed. Way too often for the tastes of me and my brothers, at any rate.

He did the same routine each time, and it did not improve with retelling.

[MrPrax]

9. He was funny on the Simpsons

He was Krusty's Dad!!!

yeah he is uber-borscht belt...but he still had a few gags during the heady days of 60s 70s comedy...

Yer a Hockey Puck if you disagree BTW

[lumpy]

10. Is that ass still alive ?

He was known as a hack comic lounge lizard.

[oasis]

12. "lounge lizard?" He looks more like a "lounge iguana"

[tkmorris]

11. Yep

he always has been Keph. A complete twit for as long as I've known of him.

[ikojo]

13. Jackie Mason is an ordained

orthodox rabbi so it does not surprise me that he would lean right. The orthodox Jewish community has been veering right for the last 20 years or so.

[NWHarkness]

14. He's a stinking racist

A year or so ago, he demanded a comedian be taken off the bill at a club where he was playing, solely because he was Palestinian.

[kathee]

15. Wasnt he the voice

of the aardvark on Pink Panther years ago?

Isnt he also one of those "dish it out but can't take it" so-called comedians?

[Nlighten1]

16. One lump or two?

two I think, he likes it sweet.

Yes he was the voice of the aardvark. Hilarious cartoon.
