We were curious why no one seems to have any pictures from Gov. Rick Perry’s Hannukah celebration with a group of Orthodox rabbis Tuesday, but then we remembered something he told the Dallas Morning News last year.
Since non-Christians risk spending eternity in the ol’ lake of fire, Perry probably hauled ass before the lightning bolts could burn him like the menorah candles he was there to light. Houston’s Rabbi Shimon Lazaroff was quoted as saying the ceremony would help “promote religious pride and freedom for all mankind.” Chosen Person or Chump? You decide. – Craig Malisow
