The Senator, the Monkey and the Nana

Senator George Allen has been having a rough time since he called a college student a "Macaca." Macaca is a common racist term used in France, where Allen’s mother is from. His once large lead in the polls is rapidly slipping. And now he is being forced to change his planned campaign stops to avoid protesters, including two who dressed up like a monkey and a banana.

On Friday Allen was at an event at a Holiday Inn when a University of Virginia law student asked an important question no media member has the balls to ask:

“Have you ever used the word nigger?

The student then went on to ask why Allen had once displayed a noose in his office. Handling it like a politician, Allen smiled, put his hands on the student’s shoulders and said they could talk about it later. His aides then escorted the student out. Allen turned to the nearly all-white crowd of Greater Augusta Regional Chamber of Commerce members and said,

“Once in a while you get ambushed, that’s OK. That’s part of it.”

Part of being a racist? Or a politician?

Allen then made for his bus and got the hell out of there. His next stop was supposed to be City Hall where protesters, supporters and city officials were waiting. But Allen made the wise choice and did not show up. The banana and monkey photo op was apparently not a good one.
