I woke up to the horror that Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal was dead.
For a while I thought “This can’t be. Maybe it’s really Steve Irwin that Crocodile Hunter guy who died and they just got the headlines mixed up.”
Nope. Dead Nazi hunter.
What I liked best about Simon Wiesenthal was his humor about hutning Nazis. He’s have on his big poofy yamulke and carry around that absurd shotgun he never hit anything with, and he’d all of the sudden stop and whisper “Be vewwy vewwy qwiet, I’m hunting Nazis.”
And his laugh. Oh, how his laugh used to make me laugh.
Goodbye, Simon. May those old men hiding in the wilderness of Paraguay and Argentina break their hips when they dance at the news.
How come this post doesn’t have any comments?
Because Nazi haters are chickenhawks.
Oh. I thought maybe it was Bush’s fault.
One more for the oven…..
wait, are you telling me Steve Irwin and Simon Wiesenthal are two different people? I thought Steve Irwin was just what they called him down in Australian, like how they call a girl a Sheila and a shrimp a Barbie.
Huh.
Still, the man knows his way around an Einsatz-crocodile.
RebubliKKKans dislike Nazis and admire Simon Wiesenthal, and yet so do I. The RepubliKKKanns must actually be right about some things.
And yet Bush = Hitler. Jews, oops, Neoconservatives are the source of all evil in the world, unlike that nice national socialist Mr Hussein.
Aiiieee, I have a sharp pain in my frontal lobes, I must go.
Sod it. Chickenhawk! American eagle! Kestrel!
“mninb”.
Yecchh.
What a maroon. Fancy email addy too. Nuthin’ but Net.
Sheesh….
This post doesn’t have a lot of comments because it’s hard to mix sorrow with a humour blog such as this. And, sadly, Simon Wiesenthal, Righteous Man, seems so distant for so many.
I’m not a Jew, but I’ll try and say this next sentence as a Jewish person would.
May G-d bless Simon Wiesenthal and his family.
As a Christian, may he be already supping with the Saints.
