New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine's choice for lieutenant governor (a new office in the Garden State) is Loretta Weinberg, "the first Bernie Madoff victim to run for public office." Plus, she describes herself as a "feisty Jewish grandmother," so she may have a good line on a kidney if you need one.

Memo to Ms. Weinberg: Please avoid describing yourself as anything other than an old white man. Failure to do so may eventually result in 4 days of repetitive and condescending questions from old white men that are essentially variations on, "You once said you were a feisty Jewish grandmother. Were you saying that Jewish grandmothers are better at being feisty than old white men?"
Old White Men still have the corner on persnickity.
What a great (crass leveraging) way to confirm the rest of America's suspicions about the Madoff victims and assure that there is even LESS sympathy.
What, the Lindbergh baby wasn't available?
Too soon?
Ow, the kidney thing was slightly tasteless, perhaps?
no, kidneys are actually quite delicious.
What reality show was she on? Temptation Island? RuPaul's Drag Race?
