Not Sure What Clem's Problem With Judaism Is (On Rosh Hashanah No Less) But Lox on A Cinnamon Raisin Bagel Is Delicious

It’s obviously a horrible accusation to throw at someone and possibly very libelous, so I’m not saying Clem is anti-Semitic – I’m just asking the question.  A lot of people are wondering it after this last blog so it just needs to be addressed.  Give him a chance to clear the air and maybe admit he made an entire blog full of typos and mis-statements.  It’s the Jewish New Year and Clemzingis, otherwise known as the nicest jolliest guy in the world, spent his morning spreading hate speech on thicker than the housemade cream cheese on Cynthia Nixon’s breakfast.

Hey Clem, what do you mean by “normal people”??

How am I supposed to trust Cynthia Nixon to fix this fucked up state when she can’t even order a bagel like a normal person. You gotta stick to the basics when the cameras are on you. Order a plain, sesame, poppy, or everything with whatever topping you would like or if you want to get the Fat Vote, a bacon, egg, and cheese. If you are fiending a cinnamon raisin bagel, keep it simple by toasting it and throwing some butter on top before shaking some hands, kissing some babies, and going back to the campaign trail. After overcoming being That Girl From Sex And The City and giving Governor Cuomo a real opponent, Cynthia Nixon blew it all for a weirdo bagel order, which is such a Miranda move.

A toasted bagel with butter.  Ok white Catholic guy.

If you’ve been keeping up the New York governor’s race, you’ll know that Cynthia herself has been the subject of some nasty “anti-semitic” comments lately after a pretty gross smear mailer by the NYCDC (despite the fact she has Jewish kids which kind of makes that claim null and void.)  Saying she’s been silent on the rise of anti-Semitism and keeps dodging questions about funding yeshivas.   And that’s what I hate about this move – not the actual order, which is delicious, and is only being knocked by food cowards scared of broadening their tastebud horizons – but the INSANELY transparent pandering that the move represents.  Get called out for not supporting Jews enough – go straight to the deli and order lox capers and onions on a bagel.  While surrounded by cameras.  GTFO.   You want a bratwurst with Spätzle at the Biergarten, we get it, just do that and own it.

And everyone else – stop with the order shaming.  It’s something I’ve had to deal with my entire life for my after-dinner order at the local ice cream shoppe: strawberry sundae with chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream with extra walnuts and sprinkles.  Shout out Twin Acres.

PS,

I wasn’t there but let me tell you exactly what happened in this deli.  The woman in front of Nixon asked for a taste of the cream cheese to “see if its fresh today” then complained at the register that they raised the price of bagels by 25 cents.  The girl behind Nixon asked for the bagel scooped out because she doesn’t need the carbs…then also complained at the register that she was still charged for a full bagel.   And a crowd of folks at the door upon seeing the camera crews and non-regulars in their morning spot threw their hands up and went to Barney Greengrass.
