Krauthammer's Law: Everyone is Jewish until proven otherwise

Posted by Kevin Dayhoff Sept. 27th, 2006

If you have not had a chance to read Charles Krauthammer’s latest column: “Krauthammer's Law: Everyone is Jewish until proven otherwise,” it is a keeper.

Is it me, or does it seems that the senatorial contest in Virginia just keep getting curiouser and cuiouser?

Can anyone explain to me just what the fact that Governor-Senator Allen has Jewish ancestors have to do with the price of tea in China – or the Senate contest, for that matter? A glick hot dir getrofen.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Strange doings in Virginia. George Allen, former governor, one-term senator, son of a famous football coach and in the midst of a heated battle for reelection, has just been outed as a Jew. An odd turn of events, given that his having Jewish origins has nothing to do with anything in the campaign and that Allen himself was oblivious to the fact until his 83-year-old mother revealed to him last month the secret she had kept concealed for 60 years.

Apart from its political irrelevance, it seems improbable in the extreme that the cowboy-boots-wearing football scion of Southern manner and speech should turn out to be, at least by origins, a son of Israel. For Allen, as he quipped to me, it's the explanation for a lifelong affinity for Hebrew National hot dogs. For me, it is the ultimate confirmation of something I have been regaling friends with for 20 years and now, for the advancement of social science, feel compelled to publish.

Krauthammer's Law: Everyone is Jewish until proven otherwise. I've had a fairly good run with this one…
