2. It's George Allen, Senator from Virginia. He's the guy who referred

to an Indian-American as a "macaca". His mother was a part-French Tunisian, so he surely knows that a macaque is a type of monkey common in Northern Africa. He also said to this same person, "Welcome to America. This is how we do things" even though the person he was addressing was American-born, and was raised in Fairfax, Virgina.

Typical repuke. When called out on his bigotry and racism, he issued a tepid, disingenuous non-apology, like they all do.

Asshole. Piece of human sewage. :grr::mad:

Anyway, you are probably sorry now you asked, huh, CalPeg?

4. Oh sweetie........

I am NOT sorry I asked, not one little bit!

I am always happy to learn something new......

Even when it is about someone as awful as he is!

And I agree with your assessment of him.........

Excellent choice today, BTW!

Thank you, my dear Aristus........:hug:

5. I think the only Baldwin who'd claim him as a brother is Steven

"born-again" Baldwin. And I don't think even he is a racist bigot like George Allen. The other Baldwins are all pretty progressive.

7. Thanks, Aristus!

That A-Hole really 'opened mouth -inserted foot'
with that 'macaca' statement.

What an idiot- and he knew better!

The quote is perfect, as always.

:hi:

Oh- we were looking for you to answer this burning question. ;-)
