Yarmulkes for Political Junkies

August 14, 2008 6:35 PM

For those Jews out there just kvelling to let their candidate preference be known in shul, behold the world of Shmuel Tennenhaus at VanityKippah.com.

A kippah is a yarmulke, or a skull cap, and Tennenhous has one for supporters of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, which he calls the McCippah.

Mccippah_frontThe front:
Mccippah_back_2And the back (“zayer shain” means “very nice,” or “great” in Yiddish.)
Obama_frontAnd for supporters of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, here’s the Obamica. The front:
Obama_back_2And the back (a Bubby is a grandmother in Yiddish. And Obama should be so lucky!)

Oy!

I guess if Hillary would have made it her's could say something like: "A candidate only a bubba could love." Thanks for "menschy" post, Jake.
