The National Journal reports today about NJDC's reception honoring Jewish members of Congress and asked some of members in attendance to describe the democratic ticket with Yiddish words.
Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) described Barack Obama as a "mensch," meaning a "fine human being."
While, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) said Joe Biden was a "mishbucha," which translates as "member of the family."
Heh, it took me a minute to realize "mishbucha" was the same as "mishpokha".
