does indeed look like a media hit. Allen's comment was equally stupid though. running from his heritage? nah. he claims not to have known. my question is if his mother knew this, and knew he had political aspirations, why didn't she tell him eariier?
Someone needs to bring back the facts about when this exact thing happened to Madeleine Albright.
Probably because it isn't relevant. Should someone with political aspirations be "warned" that his grandfather was Jewish? What difference does it make?
