I was listening to a podcast of the NPR quiz show “Wait, Wait… Don’t Tell Me” this morning (actually the April 18 broadcast, not the most recent one), and one of the listener call-in contestants was Demarest, NJ rabbi and psychologist Dennis Shulman. Host Peter Sagal was apparently unaware that Shulman lost in a credible race for NJ’s fifth Congressional district, and Shulman didn’t mention the fact.

Shulman also didn’t mention that he is legally blind — which might have embarrassed his hosts. He was playing the ”Bluff the Listener” game, which included a lengthy jokey bluff about a legally blind umpire who hoped to work a major league game. Shulman, a class act, could have scored big laughs but took the classy route.  And won the prize, incidentally.
