Bill Frist Talking Hanukkah!

Now on the Senate Floor. What a blessing. Thank you Lord.

God Bless the Jews. I'm so grateful he remembered me.

1. Okay, he just said "latkes".
This sounds a little like the Senator from The Godfather's speech...

4. He took the time at the end of the session
To read aloud the story of Hanukkah, King, oil and all. Then he went on to say that he wished us a Happy Hanukkah and everyone should do the same.

It was creepy to hear him talking about it. I wanted a shower.

7. Did he indicate why he was talking about Hanukah,
besides the fact that it's about a week from now?

11. It was a "shout out" :)
He started off by saying that he'd like to take a moment to talk about a holiday (little cutesy pregnant pause) Hanukkah. And he just went into a spiel about the Jews and the history of Hanukkah. He closed by mentioning it begins on the same day as Christmas this year.

I'm think of sending him a "Thank You" dreidel.

10. Okay and correct me if I am wrong here, but I recall reading somewhere
that European Countries don't' get our religiousness? Somewhere, I heard that they don't understand nor get our obsession with religion. Is that true?
