Jackie Mason, comic who perfected amused outrage, dies at 93
['The Associated Press']
The North State Journal
NEW YORK — Jackie Mason, a rabbi-turned-comedian whose feisty brand of standup comedy led him to Catskills nightclubs, West Coast talk shows and Broadway stages, has died.
Sinai Hospital in Manhattan after being hospitalized for over two weeks, the celebrity lawyer Raoul Felder told The Associated Press.
The irascible Mason was known for his sharp wit and piercing social commentary, often about being Jewish, men and women and his own inadequacies.
“He was an actor all his life, knew nothing about politics and became president of the United States.
Mason had to apologize after saying, among other things, that Jews would vote for Dinkins out of guilt.
