LOVE THOSE JEWS: Ran across this in the WaPo:
"I see this guy with funny-looking clothes on, mumbling," [Senator] McCain said. "I thought, my God, what's going on here? It was Joe [Lieberman], practicing his religion."
In context, the quote still sounds pretty silly, but isn't at all offensive. McCain was once with Lieberman on a transatlantic flight and woke up blearey-eyed, with a prayer shawl-clad Lieberman in front of him.

In fact, McCain respects Lieberman because he "is one of the few men I've met in my life who lives his religion." Albeit a religion that involves mumbling and funny-looking clothes.
