Extreme Rosh Hashanah
September 12, 2007 at 3:48 pm
Extreme Mortman will go dark for a bit in celebration of the Jewish New Year, 5768. (Like most Americans, I’ll still be writing 5767 on my checks for some time.) Before we head down to Times Square to watch the annual New Years eve dropping of the big flavorless roasted chicken, we might want to get into the spirit of things by remembering some of President Bush’s Rosh Hashanah greetings over the years:
- 2001: “Laura joins me in sending best wishes for a blessed Rosh Hashanah.”
- 2002: “Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a blessed holiday spent with family and friends.”
- 2003: “Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a blessed Rosh Hashanah.”
- 2004: “Laura joins me in sending our best wishes for a blessed Rosh Hashanah and a sweet New Year.”
- 2005: “Laura and I send our best wishes for a blessed Rosh Hashanah. L’shanah tovah.”
- 2006: “Laura and I send our best wishes for a peaceful Rosh Hashanah.”
- 2007: “Laura and I send our best wishes for a blessed Rosh Hashanah and shanah tovah.”

As a Gentile, Rosh Hashanah simply means to me that Wayne Resnick filled in for Bill Handel on Los Angeles’ KFI radio this morning.
Of course, Yom Kippur will give me a poor excuse to look up Louis Farrakhan’s a-ton a-tone me men speech. (Yes, I know I’ll be hsued over that one.)
