Tom Ammiano is a supervisor who happens to be a standup comedian on occasion. Or, depending on your point of view, he is a standup comedian who happens to be a supervisor. As people know who call his private home phone, he puts up a political joke almost every day on his answering machine.
Monday: “Mayor Newsom says he is a progressive. I guess rehab really works.”
Friday: “Ed Jew under house arrest? What house?”
Alas, for understandable reasons, Ammiano doesn’t give out his home phone number, so people just can’t call in and get their daily dose of Ammianoism. But I will make the call for you on occasion and try to put the best of Ammiano on my blog. Hear any good political jokes lately? Pass them along. B3
