PHOTO: No, Senator Macacawitz, you don't get to be Latino, too.

Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 02:31 PM by Bluebear

U.S. Senator George Allen (R-VA) speaks at the Latino Coalition's 2006 Small Business Economic Summit in Washington October 3, 2006. Allen, once cruising to re-election with an eye on a White House run in 2008, bought extra television time on Monday in a sign he is fighting for his political life after a series of gaffes.

9. Yes, according to the corporate whores, publically uttering a

racial slur, being accused of overt racism, committing hate crimes, and lying about your heritage for fear of losing the KKK vote are mere "gaffes," like using the wrong fork at a fancy banquet. Wonder what it would take for these guys to take Allen's behavior seriously? I shudder to think.
