Oy! Top comic pickles presidential candidate

Jackie Mason

During a radio interview Sunday, legendary stand-up comic Jackie Mason branded presidential candidate Bernie Sanders "the funniest character in the world."

Stated Mason: "Here is a Jew from Brooklyn. A Jew from Brooklyn who was sitting around in Brooklyn with no place to go. He couldn't get anywhere. He couldn't get a job. Nobody hired him for anything.

"So usually when you see a Jew in Brooklyn, as he gets older he runs to Florida. Here is a guy instead of Florida, he did something no Jew ever thought of. He said 'You know something. I think I'll go to Vermont.'"

Mason, who has branded himself the "Ultimate Jew" as part of his stage routine, continued: "If he told you this while he was in Brooklyn that he is going to wind up running for president from Vermont do you know what would have happened? They would have put him in a sanatorium. They would have thought this man has a mental problem. This man is dangerous. He might kill himself. Who knows what he's going to do."

Listen below to a clip of Jackie Mason on Aaron Klein Radio:

Mason was speaking during his monthly segment on "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio," broadcast on AM 970 The Answer in New York and NewsTalk 990 AM in Philadelphia.

The funnyman questioned why Sanders remains in America if he is so opposed to U.S. capitalism.

"He says socialism is the best way because the American system stinks. If the American system stinks and socialism is the best way, why don't you move to a socialist country? Denmark is available. They have room for one more person."

"Vermont has an exit toll," Mason jested. "You can get out of Vermont just like you can get into Vermont."

"If a person says this restaurant stinks and he's eating there, why are you eating in this restaurant? Go to a place you like!"

Mason also sounded off on Joe Biden's months-long process of deciding whether to run for president.

"He's been chasing this job since he was 12. And all of the sudden he can't figure out if he wants the job," the comic cracked. "He's acting like he never heard of it. He doesn't know what it is."

"If this is how slow he thinks and this is how long it takes him to figure out something he knows about, God forbid if there was a problem that he never heard about? What is he gonna do about that?"

"Imagine if someone told him an earthquake is coming to this country on Thursday? You know what he'll do? He'll wait till a week from Friday and he's still thinking about it. To figure out if he should do something about it or not. If it takes him this long to think if he wants to be president, who knows how long it will take him to figure out if there was a real problem? It might take him a year and a half."
