Roll Call mentioned the McCippahs in a Heard of the Hill Column. Flattering!

“Some of HOH’s favorite bits of political swag floating around the Twin Cities are those classy blue suede yarmulkes apparently designed for the discriminating Jewish Republican. The head-coverings are emblazoned with the word “McCippah” (a cippah, or kippah, is another name for a yarmulke) and the phrase “John McCain is Zayer Shain” (translated: John McCain is great). We spotted them on some conventioneers, and one generous convention-goer even offered one to the Rev. Al Sharpton (see above item) at an event he headlined…..”

This is actually true. Someone handed a McCain Kippah to Al Sharpton. And there’s a photo to prove it.

The best part about all this is that amidst the high tension during the Crown Heights Riots, Sharpton was quoted saying: “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house”.

It’s 2008 and now Al Sharpton has his very own Kippah!

Side note; I am considering updating the tagline for VanityKippah.com to “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house“.

What do you think?
