Oh, Well Nevermind Then...

This just in: George Allen clearly cannot be racist. How is this? Because he's recently learned that he's Jewish. Or so he says. As if his newfound semitism wasn't enough, he's also learned that his grandfather was a Nazi resistance fighter! The best part? He learned about it all from a magazine. Who knew that Modern Pandering was delivering in NoVa?

The Distinguished Gentleman from Virginia has proclaimed that he was raised a Christian and that the sum total of his life was under such guidance. Curiously, his Jewish heritage has just now asserted itself in response to the pressures that he's been under recently viz a viz "macaca".

When asked about his nacent Judaism, he reminded his audience that people should not make "aspersions about people because of their religious beliefs." No word yet from the Allen campaign as to whether or not aspersions about people's racial and ethnic background are still fair game. Or if he believes that using a $4.00 word like "aspersions" is going to help him win votes in rural Virginia.
