Listen to Silverman: she's got good advice for a better America
This is absolutely hilarious. Sarah Silverman is one of those wild performers who combines shock with wit. In this brief video, she cajoles all you Jews to make “The Great Schlep” to see your retired, vote-eligible nanas and poppies in Florida and to talk them into voting for Obama. It’s a great idea–plus you’ll get a free vacation in the meantime.

It’s admirable that you’re voting for Obama, but what about all your friends and neighbors?
