Anecdote

Story told me:

An older Jewish lawyer, walking to temple on Yom Kippur, falls in conversation with an even older Jew, walking to a different, orthodox temple. The conversation turns to the election:


Orthodox Man:

I'm voting for McCain.

Lawyer:

Ehh. Ok. Why are you for McCain?

Orthodox Man:

I couldn't vote for that Obama. He's Muslim, and I couldn't support a Muslim.

Lawyer:

That's ridiculous. He's not a Muslim. He was raised by his white Christian mother and by his white Christian grandmother.

Orthodox Man:

His father was a Muslim.

Lawyer:

He didn't meet his father until he was 20. What's so whacky about this is that Obama is getting all this heat because of what his pastor said, at the church he's been a member of for 20 years.

Orthodox Man (triumphant):

That too!
