Unbelievable.

Here we have a reporter trying to find out if Allen's a Jew, or if his mother or grandfather are/were Jewish, and we're supposed to pretend like that's an appropriate question? Is that really something that's going to matter to the voters of Virginia? Would we be comfortable if Allen were saying "Vote for me, I'm a Jew?" How about if Allen's opponent were to say "Don't vote for Allen, he's a Jew?"

Honestly, that has pretty much got to be the dumbest question I've ever heard asked of a politician. Especially in an atmosphere to focused on political correctness that a politician can't even make an innocent reference to something being a "tar baby" without it causing a three-day media circus.
