Minnesota Senator's State Fair Joke Misfires

Op Ed News reported on an awkward lack of religious sensitivity by Minnesota U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar yesterday during CNN correspondent John King's interview with her at the Minnesota State Fair. (Transcript). As King bantered about items the Republicans were handing out at the Fair, Klobuchar replied: "I have for you chocolate covered bacon, one of our fair delicacies. I'd like you to eat it on the air." King adamantly refused, but joked, "at least this is not on a stick." King converted to Judaism last year (report from Soup Cans) in advance of marrying Dana Bash who is also a CNN correspondent.
