Allen's Mother Revealed Jewish Heritage to Him Last Month - washingtonpost.com

I don't know what I don't believe more: that George Allen didn't know he was half Jewish or that he mows his own lawn. My problem with Allen is not that he is a conservative republican out of step with his constituents, it's that he's such a bad liar. I find it incredulous that he didn't know macaca was a racist slur, he didn't know that he was Jewish, he didn't mixed up macaca and Mohawk, he didn't know that the rebel battle emblem was offensive. How does he expect to be ready for primetime with his inability to lie. Not only do I not like his politics, I'm annoyed by his incompetence on the campaign trail.
