He did not win the office but not with an embarrassingly disrespectful showing.<br /><br />Friedman's comic-musician performances, which include such memorable C&W songs as "They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore", is actually an astute social commentator of the political left, despite his Stetson-wearing, cigarillo-chopping, cowboy-booted, twangy-tongued stage persona.
