Sen. Allen Says Another Questionable Thing In Conversation About Newfound Jewish Roots
Click here for the whole story.

<snip>

No longer a presidential candidate after his "macaca" moment, Allen told the Associated Press that he plans to explore his newfound Jewish heritage.

But in the next breath, he implied that he hoped to run, and win, another race for office.

"Every time you win," he said, "you're reborn."

It's an interesting choice of words -- "reborn." Is that code for his "good ol' boy" supporters? A nod to evangelical Christians that in spite of his heritage, he's not the least bit Jewish? Something he thought up while dining on a ham sandwich or some other non-kosher meal?

1. I vote for it being just a stupid-sounding comment
He seems to mean it in the sense of "rejuvenated".

5. every time he is asked about his jewishness
he either gets pissed or makes a "ham sandwich" comment.

you be the judge. it seems to me that he wants to make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR HE IS NOT JEWISH.

6. George who?
Oh, you mean Mr. Macaca.

I forget what he used to do. Wasn't he a senator once upon a time?
