Balanced Ticket?In the run-up to the 2000 presidential election, political satirist Al Franken jokingly proposed a Franken-Lieberman ticket. "He wanted a balanced ticket," Lieberman later quipped. "He's a reform Jew and I'm an Orthodox Jew."
[Among Lieberman's suggestions for Franken-Lieberman campaign bumper-sticker slogans?
"With malice toward none, but a little guilt for everyone."
"Tippecanoe and two Jews too."
"A matzo ball in every pot."
"No bull. No pork."
"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your mother."
And (for the angry white male vote): "Lox and Load"!]
Lieberman, Joseph (1942- ) American politician, Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate (2000)
