Senator Macacawitz defers to Yom Kippur
From Rawstory:

Following an inquiry made to the office of Senator George Allen (R-VA) by a woman scheduled to testify before the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, Allen's office has rescheduled a hearing until the day after Yom Kippur, the holiday on which the hearing was originally scheduled. The change was reported in today’s edition of ROLL CALL.

<snip>
The Senator long ago had scheduled a field hearing of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee for Monday, Oct. 2, which is Yom Kippur. Last week, Allen moved the date to Oct. 3 to avoid conflict with the high holiday, according to the interest group involved in the hearing.

“He’s Jewish and Monday is Yom Kippur,” explained Brynn Slate, spokeswoman for the National Association of Women Business Owners, completely matter-of-factly to HOH.

:rofl:

Now he's embracing his Jewish heritage?! :rofl:

Oh, this is rich! Are you sure this isn't the Onion?

As if. So, now the Jews and moderates will flock to him? Could he possibly believe this might help him? Is he that stupid? (rhetorical) More likely his racist fuckwad base will flee from the newly-revealed "jew".

What's next? A bar-mitzvah?
