Rudy Giuliani just lost the Wisconsin vote
Rudy Giuliani refuses to sign Green Bay Packers cap

==

At a campaign stop in this southwest Florida town on Monday, the Republican presidential candidate refused to autograph a white Green Bay Packers cap. The New York Giants face the Packers in the NFC championship game Sunday.

"No, I won’t sign that," the former New York City mayor said as he scribbled his name on a series of placards and papers. He has been spending almost every day here before Florida’s Jan. 29 primary as it’s his best chance to win a state before the Feb. 5 Super Tuesday contests.

"Oh, please," a man is heard pleading in the videotaped encounter posted on Fox News’ Web site.

7. I love that word, Rudy is meshuga!
Here's a great list of Yiddish words (I find so many of them are adapted from German during my course everyday)

14. wow, I had no idea I was Jewish!
that list is like my entire vocabulary!

I had several Jewish friends in high school, and they of course taught us guys all the dirty words. But there are a bunch more I have just assimilated here and there, I guess.

I missed one of my favorites: shmegeggie but googled and found out it is not Yiddish
