His comments are quite bizarre, to see the least. Why does he need to use 'ham sandwich and port chops' as metaphor to distance himself from his Jewish heritage? This is gettint really weird.
The MSM is setting up the trap for Allen, his response yesterday was terrific, but he is just unable to stop this 'foot-in-mouth' disease.
Thanks God, we know sooner rather than later, he is not ready for prime time.
Allen in 08. Get over it.
I don't know who my grandfather was; I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.
Abraham Lincoln
"I still had a ham sandwich for lunch. And my mother made great pork chops."
My sentiments exactly. Why would he choose such a shallow, smart alecky remark to distance himself? Sounds like a shallow jerk to me.
There is no foot-in-mouth disease. What was he supposed to have said that would meet with the strict guidelines of bigoted, hypocritical liberals?
I understand how he feels. I did not discover my Jewish roots until about 10 years ago. They were all afraid to talk about them. I discovered it accidentally and had to do much prying to get the facts.
Are you a Dem operative??

MACACA!
I could've told you that years ago.
This guy is the quintessential white-bread politician. He is a Conservative Kerry. Every word out of his mouth is calculated|filtered. I do not think I have ever seen him in a "real" moment all the years he has been serving this state.
Even these comments are wac. He acknowledges some sort of implied Jewish background...which if true is good...he then runs away from it with the pork references....which is bad because it makes you immediately think: Why did he just qualify his remarks?
" He is constantly "on".
Two words for Allen:
"Inner monologue"
A reference to Jewish roots and at the same time disrespecting Orthodox dietary restrictions is indicative of some sort of internal conflict, or at least confusion. It is certainly not a sign of brilliance on the campaign trail.
Of course, it is only mentioned (emphasized) here in order to bring clarity to the debate. Right?
What is the point?
He is a JOOOOOOO? Oh No!!!!
so what?
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Read the sicko comments by Markos on DailyKos to see how this was all a big setup from the Webb campaign, for which Markos' partner Jerome is a consultant.
