First off, I only know of Jewish traditions, culture and religion from what there is floating around in the mainstreammedia and such,so if I stumble into some kind of offensive remark it is inadvertant.
If Karla's mother is Jewish, and therefore she would be considered Jewish, even if unobservant, according to culture/tradition/religion, it follows that her and Doug's girls are Jewish as well, no? So he not only could have said his wife is Jewish, so are his kids, if that's the case. But he calls upon the old 'some of my best friends...' line in the debate. Unbelievable. Unbelievably stupid or unbelievable b.s.
