 And the award for worst expression of Jewish guilt goes to John Kerry: John Kerry's absurd presidential campaign got a little loonier this week. As was widely reoprted earlier this year, the Democratic presidential hopeful "suddenly" discovered that he had Jewish ancestors. He immediately began using the newfound knowledge to his advantage -- inserting random Yiddish phrases into his speeches and overall courting the Jewish vote. Then word came from Kerry's office that the former Irishman would not attend a St. Patrick's Day breakfast fundraiser in Boston because of his recent prostate cancer surgery. Most everyone assumed that he didn't show up because of newly-dsicovered Jewish heritage. "No matter who you are, everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day ... Except John Kerry," joked state Sen. John A. Hart Jr., the Democratic host of Sunday's event. Surprising even his own handlers, Kerry startled the packed crowd by showing up, then taking jabs at himself. "So who said I don't have the matzoh balls to be here?" Kerry asked. Seriously, that's what he said.
