This creeps us out on so many levels. The audience booing the very idea of Senator Macaca maybe being Jewish (or the audacity of asking him about it). And George Allen -- whose mother was, yes, of the prosperous and well-known Jewish Lumbroso family -- clearly so shocked -- shocked! -- at the question that he can't bring himself to just fucking say "yes, my mom was a Jew, that's why I bring up the fact that my grandfather was in a fucking concentration camp." No, instead he suddenly (and temporarily, one presumes) becomes a First Amendment absolutist of a stripe we've never seen before: one who takes "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" to mean "the press doesn't have a right to ask me if anyone in my family was ever a member of the Tribe in front of my milky-white constituents."

HEAR HEAR. TAKE THE BITCH DOWN, GEORGE. Do it for Bubbe Allen!
