SARAH SILVERMAN FOR WWW.THE GREAT SCHLEP.COM {INTERNET COLLECTION}
Summary
The made-for-Internet production is a tongue-in-cheek plea for elderly Jewish residents in Florida to vote in the 2008 presidential election for Barack Obama. Silverman begins by urging young listeners to "schlep" to Florida and convince their grandparents to vote for Obama. She cites Al Gore's 2000 presidential loss to George W. Bush as evidence of how elderly Floridians can adversely affect the country. She sits on a couch with a young black man and elderly Jewish woman to point out what she perceives to be similarities between the pair. She also claims that Jews are put off by Obama since they're "afraid of his name." She then cites "fun facts" about Obama's policies. Silverman concludes by instructing listeners to threaten not to visit their grandparents if they won't vote for Obama.
