If the choice was between Sandra Bernhard and Sarah Palin, I know which one just about everybody would vote for.

It's a funny thing: I actually held a door for Sandra Bernhard when she was pushing a baby stroller along Bleecker St. in New York one day about six or seven years ago. You see a mother doing something as innocent as pushing a stroller and it seems inconceivable that she could have so much rage inside her.

It strikes me as odd, however, that she gets to throw around words like "shiksa" and "goyische" - not to mention "whore" and "bitch" - and no one in the media expresses any negative judgment.
