National Jewish Democratic Council: Limbaugh to become a Jew

BREAKING NEWS: Rush Limbaugh Converts to Judaism

It has just been reported that Rush Limbaugh wants to become a Member of the Tribe. Limbaugh announced last night that he would convert to Judaism.

In the spirit of tikkun olam, Limbaugh also proclaimed that he wanted nothing more than to see President Barack Obama succeed as the 44th President of the United States. “President Obama is the only man I know who has the ability to truly repair the world,” Limbaugh said.

“In a post-partisan gesture of good will, we welcome Mr. Limbaugh into the Jewish community,” said Ira N. Forman, Executive Director of the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC).  ”We applaud his support for our President and commend him for suspending his radio show on Shabbat.”

JTA is reporting that Jewish Democrats are already forming lines in the street in anticipation of being able to participate in Limbaugh’s full entry into the covenant of Abraham.

HAPPY PURIM!

Why we tell jokes on Purim (short answer: it’s a mitzvah to laugh and be happy on the holiday; in my synagogue, we do a mock-up of our congregation’s newsletter and write the news as if it were The Onion)
