The Republican Party really is dipping into the dregs, as this Pitch story describes. One wonderful vignette is the phone canvasser who yells at people who aren't voting for Republicans.
I phone canvass, and, erm, you don't yell at people. But onto the Jewish outreach program:
Nuclear holocaust…
Oy.:
The Council of Economic Advisers is down to one adviser.
The nice thing about April Fool's day is that most people go back to being smart at the end of the day.

"OMG!", I said to my wife "They're Jewish!?"
"Well, obviously."
"Don't you get it?"
