The Jewish Daily Forward has decided that George (Macaca) Allen is, well Jewish. Max Sawicky adds him to a long list of pols who were Jewish before they weren't: "James Schlesinger, Casper Weinberger, Lawrence Kudlow, Bob Novak, and Harry Reems would understand. Maybe he should make Madeleine Albright his running mate," says Max.
George (and Max) might want to recall another great conservative hero who wasn't so coy: Barry Goldwater, grandson of "Big Mike" Goldwasser, an immigrant from Poland. Of Goldwater, Harry Golden quipped: "I always said that the first Jewish president would be an Episcopalian."
Fn.: Carpetbagger remarked on Goldwater's Jewishness in a piece of ironic nostalgia just a couple of days ago. What we may see is a variant of the old rule: the job of every Republican president (candidate) is to make the last guy look good.
