Anti-McCain Mason endorses Republican Horn
By Brian Lawson and james.pindellActor Jackie Mason, who has called John McCain a fraud, endorsed 2nd Congressional District candidate Jennifer Horn (R-Nashua), her campaign announced today.
Mason will be sending letters to voters in the district touting his endorsement. “For a comedian like me, I always found her a disappointment because I always found her too preoccupied to appreciate any joke I told her. She was always too emotionally involved with projects and the problems of people she was trying to help,” the letter states. “More importantly she is not a political operative or a career politician - we have enough of them in Washington already.” "Jackie Mason is an American icon - he has been entertaining people around the world for decades. He is one of the most patriotic people I know-his love of country is limitless,” Horn says in a press release. “ I consider myself blessed to have the support of good friends like Jackie as I take on one of the greatest challenges of my life." Mason has starred in movies such as Caddy Shack II, The Jerk and Stiffs. He appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show the same night the Beatles debuted and is currently the host of CN8’s The Jackie Mason Show. In response Horn campaign manager Zack Condry said Horn doesn't stand behind those remarks. "He is a comedian. He is a political commentator. Jennifer does not stand behind those statements," said Condry.

Quote of the Day
July 25, 2008
"I don't think it follows logically or factually from the facts that Senator McCain was on the ballot and eventually got the nomination of the Republican Party that your vote was somehow undermined."
-- U.S. District Court Judge Joseph LePlante on his ruling against a legal challenge filed by Fred Hollander, a Nashua resident, who claimed that since John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, he was ineligible to run for president.

Where's this guy from again?
What gives him any business telling New Hampshirites how to vote?
say what?
So much for party unity. Can someone tell me why Horn is touting this endorsement? If he'd done it on his own, well that's one thing. However, Horn has this front and center on her website, and she's issued press releases about it. I'm not a big McCain fan, but I also won't work to torpedo him. Um, Horn is a Republican, right?
