I have problems with Mason's politics, so I've never
been a fan, but the accent is delicious.  Practically
anything is funnier in a Jewish (Yiddish?) accent.  I
wish I could do accents; I'd talk to myself in that
one just for the joy of it.

On my one visit to Paris many years ago, I went with
some friends to the Jewish quarter and was astonished
to hear the residents speaking French with the very
same accent and characteristic intonation.  I didn't
realize it translated!
