"You know who's a great friend of Israel? Rick Perry," proclaimed American political satirist Stephen Colbert on Thursday's edition of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. "Rick Perry stands with the Jews... When he's not dancing with them!" Colbert said, and went on to show the clip of Perry dancing with the Chabad Shluchim.
Below is the original Chanukah video from Governor Perry's Youtube Channel, with its description.
"12/2/2010 - TEXAS STATE CAPITOL - Gov. Perry met with a delegation of Texas Jewish leaders Thursday to mark the first full day of Hanukkah, lighting the menorah in the governor's public reception room, then singing and dancing along to traditional songs. The menorah holds one candle for each night of Hanukkah, with the ninth candle, the shamash, used to light the other candles.
Among those joining Gov. Perry at the celebration were Rabbi Shimon Lazaroff, Rabbi Chaim Lazaroff, Rabbi Yoseph Levertov, Rabbi Zev Johnson and Rabbi Yossi Lazaroff."
