Sen. Allen: I May Be Jewish But I Eat Pork

“I still had a ham sandwich for lunch. And my mother made great pork chops.”
— Sen. George Allen

Pathetic:

[Sen. George Allen, R-Virginia] said his grandfather’s incarceration by the Germans had a profound effect on his mother; that because it was a painful memory, it was almost never discussed.

“Some may find it odd that I have not probed deeply into the details of my family history, but it’s a fact,” Allen said in his statement.

Speaking with The Times-Dispatch, Allen said the disclosure is “just an interesting nuance to my background.” He added, “I still had a ham sandwich for lunch. And my mother made great pork chops.”
