- <p> RUNNING FOR OFFICE. JACKIE MASON, 59, comedian; in New York
- City. The rabbi turned comic has announced he will compete as
- an independent this fall for New York's Office of the Public
- Advocate. Mason's previous experience in politics is limited
- to his support of former and current New York Republican mayoral
- candidate Rudolph Giuliani in 1989--who promptly dumped Mason
- after the loose-lipped comedian described then candidate, now
- Mayor David Dinkins as "a fancy shvartze with a mustache."
