Thompson says making money 'part of Jewish tradition' Republican presidential candidate later apologizes Associated Press April 16, 2007, 10:11PM chron.com WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Tommy Thompson told a Jewish group Monday that earning money is "part of the Jewish tradition," a remark for which he later apologized. "I'm in the private sector and for the first time in my life I'm earning money," Thompson told the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. "You know that's sort of part of the Jewish tradition. ... " Later, he added: "I didn't (by) any means want to infer or imply anything about Jews and finances. ... What I was referring to ... is the accomplishments of the Jewish religion. You've been outstanding business people and I compliment you for that." Thompson spokesman Tony Jewell said the former Wisconsin governor, who is Catholic, was sorry.
