Holy Joe to the rescue

First Joe Lieberman helps John McCain sort out this Iran/Al-Qaeda link that the prospective president keeps misidentifying. Now he helps John with his Jewish Holidays:

In Israel yesterday, NBC’s Lauren Appelbaum reports, Lieberman once again intervened when McCain made an incorrect reference about the Jewish holiday Purim -- by calling the holiday "their version of Halloween here."

This is giving me hope, considering how incredibly well Joe served the Gore campaign in 2000.

EDIT: I'm actually reading in places that some Jews do consider Purim to be like Halloween. If this is the case, I wonder why Joe had to correct him. After all, he'd seem to be an authority on the matter.
