As the Post noted: "Why should anyone be offended upon being asked if he or she has Jewish ancestry? Does acting huffy in response to such a question (as Allen did when first asked, during a debate this week) imply that one believes there is something wrong with being Jewish? Or did Allen think that the questioner was implying that there was something wrong with being Jewish, since the questioner brought it up just after asking how he had learned the French slur "macaca," which some have suggested could have come from his mother, who was raised in French-speaking Tunisia, and who was, as it turns out, born Jewish . . . ? Oy."

Regardless of whether he prevails over Democrat Jim Webb this November, or succumbs because of "macaca" and other issues, perhaps Allen can have a Sweet New Year as he incorporates his newfound knowledge into his 54-year-old "good ol' boy" soul. (Or at least he can learn to make better quips.)
