<--This man may even have a Jewish friend. If so, we now know who pays for lunch when they go out.
Former Minnesota Governor and current Republican Presidential hopeful Tommy Thompson demonstrated yet again why he has absolutely no shot of winning. Ha'aretz reports:
Speaking to an audience at the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington D.C., Thompson said that, "I'm in the private sector and for the first time in my life I'm earning money. You know that's sort of part of the Jewish tradition and I do not find anything wrong with that."
So according to Tommy Thompson Jews are money-grubbers. Want to clarify, Mr. Thompson?
"I just want to clarify something because I didn't [by] any means want to infer or imply anything about Jews and finances and things," he said.
"What I was referring to, ladies and gentlemen, is the accomplishments of the Jewish religion. You've been outstanding business people and I compliment you for that."
Oh! Thanks for clarifying. You didn't want to imply that Jews control the market, just that Judaism makes for great businessmen. All better!
