Republican buzillionaire Carly Fiorina: nitwit ecumenist

Breaking bread with Fiorina

A reader forwards on Carly Fiorina's passover greeting to her supporters ("Passover is a time of remembrance and thanks. ...").
The entertaining part, at least for a Jewish reader:
This week, as we break bread and spend time with our families and friends, I hope we also take a moment to say a word of thanks for our freedom and for those who have given their lives in freedom’s name. Let us also look ahead with hope to the opportunities to come.
Observant Jews probably aren't "breaking bread." The holiday features an intricate ritual of purging your home of any crumb of leavened bread. Matza, an unleavened cracker, is the best-known symbol of the holiday, eaten to recall that the Jews fled Egypt in such a rush that they didn't have time for their bread to rise.

Full e-mail after the jump.

Carly for California

Passover is a time of remembrance and thanks. This festival provides us all — Jewish, Christian and all faiths — an opportunity to reflect on the challenges we have faced and the triumphs we have achieved together. It is also a reminder of the resilient spirit that has carried people through trials of every kind through every generation.

This week, as we break bread and spend time with our families and friends, I hope we also take a moment to say a word of thanks for our freedom and for those who have given their lives in freedom’s name. Let us also look ahead with hope to the opportunities to come.

Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday.

Sincerely,

Carly Fiorina
