Who the hell is Jackie Mason?

Remember the letter I wrote to The Age?

Well, I was indulging my narcissism recently, and tripped over this: I've been quoted in Hansard. (PDF, 1.3MB, reference on p152, f170).


I am now a part of the National Record, in my own small way.

Yairs... Do we have any idea who this guy is?

I love it. It must be nice to be quoted as offering the wittiest summing up of a political scandal. :)

It probably didn't hurt that Michael Danby is my federal MP.

Jackie Mason...? Thought I recognised the name. Wikipedia tells all, and it's probably through The Simpsons that I know him.

How did you find out you'd been quoted in Hansard? Do they get in contact with you and tell you when that happens? Or do you really have hoards of adoring fan-girls and boys slavishly combing the media for any references to your greatness? ;)

Or I was bored one evening, and fed my name into Google, and followed my nose...

Try it yourself..

Oh, I read the Hansard bit. And the followed the link from Tcpip.

I have a surprisingly small web presence, all things considered. Only two entries, and both not directly linked to me. Hooray for mild anonymity. :)
