A foundation to save the word
SCHMUCK
NEW YORK--Saying he could no
longer stand idly by while a vital part of American culture is lost forever,
activist and Broadway producer Mel Brooks has founded a private non-profit
organization dedicated to preserving the word "schmuck."
An emotional Brooks stopped
short of kvetching at a schmuck fundraiser Monday.
"Schmuck is dying," a
sober Brooks said during a 2,000-person rally held in his hometown of
Williamsburg, Brooklyn Monday. "For many of us, saying 'schmuck' is a way
of life. Yet when I walk down the street and see people behaving in foolish,
pathetic, or otherwise schmucky ways, I hear only the words 'prick' and 'douche
bag.' I just shake my head and think, 'I don't want to live in a world like
this.'"
