The Piscopo Push Call

Well Kean, Jr. has finally brought out the BIG guns (i.e., a guy with arms 62-inches around)! According to Northern NJ-based web site Baristanet robocalls are now featuring lame-brained comic/bodybuilder Joe Piscopo in New Jersey...

Hi, It's Joe Piscopo. Yes, it's really me Joe Piscopo...[as if there are people who want to impersonate him...]
I'm reaching out to all my Italian-American friends to ask them to vote for a good friend of the Italian-American comunity, Tom Kean.

At the end of the call...

Paid for by the Filangieri Society for Justice and Good Government.

Additionally, the site says that mailers are being sent out accusing Menendez of "betraying" Garden State right-wing justice Sam Alito.

Here's what it said (feel free to read in your best Tony Soprano)...

New Jerseyans Are Supposed To Take Care of Their Own
Bob Menendez Betrayed Sam Alito

The mailer, from a Monmouth Beach-organization called the Filangieri Society for Justice and Good Government, states that 20% of New Jerseyans are Italian-American and that Menendez opposed every major Italian-American organization in New Jersey.

All this Italian-American rah-rah stuff from a campaign that insulted the entire Italian American community here recently by exploiting an Italian American stereotype in a TV adM, portraying a mafioso somehow connected to Menedez. What a joke.

Kean, Jr.? Fuggedaboutit.
