Bernie Sanders
not only a current politician
but a former actor
who played Rabbi Manny Shevitz
in the low-budget
(which is suitably populist)
1999 romantic comedy
"My X-Girlfriend’s Wedding Reception"
in which he condemned
the 1957 transfer
of the Brooklyn Dodgers
to Los Angeles
(a politically formative event
for the politician)
and a neighbor
giving out candy on Halloween
in another romcom
the 1988 film "Sweet Heart's Dance"
will be on Saturday Night Live tonight
and Bill Maher
who certainly does not do so
for everybody
has given him
the ringing endorsement
of "Fuck yeah."
