George Allen Sux Donkey Dick
I love how the Washington Post put this on the front page. Here's what I think happened: This guy was following George around, and George was getting annoyed. Because S.R. Sidarth is, uh, ethnic looking, his staffers nicknamed him macaca, knowing it was racist. George picked up on this, and decided to use it himself. Because George was in front of a safe group of ignorant supporters, he knew he could use the term and get a reaction. "Welcome to America," what a dick.
He's so smug.
Living here in DC, we are bombarded with commercials with this guy. Another guy running for the senate (MD), Josh Rales, is also airing a ton of ads.
Josh Rales appears to be one of those men who spit a lot when they talk. You know, the guys who accumulate a lot of foam in the corner of their mouths.
Kinda gross, but I'd much rather have him in the senate than his repub opponent.

I believe Allen's opponent is Jim Webb. His Webbsite is here: http://www.webbforsenate.com/home.php
Rales is running in Maryland. Point taken about the spitting though.
dBud: Thanks for the clarification. I'm obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.

yeah, but it's weird ... is 'macaca' a common or acknowledged racial slur? I know it's a genus of monkey, so the insinuation is obvious; but I've just never heard it ... seems too sophisticated.

Well this tidbit was recently revealed:
The word "macaca" is a variation of "macaque", which refers to a type of monkey, and is a French racial slur used for dark skinned peoples of North African descent. Allen's mother immigrated from French Tunisia and is of French descent. Allen speaks French and obtained excellent grades in French as an undergraduate.
