Yee-ha, Macaca! Head 'em up and move 'em out boys--time to round up the minorities for a photo opp! Get those dark-skinned folk in heah so I can put my arms around 'em, show 'em I like 'em as much as I like Real Virginians.
Yep, good 'ol George Allen hosted a special event over the weekend in Fairfax County to feature his support from various ethnic minorities, just to show that, macaca or not, he's got friends with dark skin too. "Welcome to America, folks . . ."
Problem is, go to one of Georgie Boy's regular campaign events--one where his staff hasn't worked the GOP phone lists, looking for people with strange sounding names--and it's pretty much all white folks.
We at the Curmudgeon don't have anything against white folks, but Jim Webb and other Democrats don't have to hold a special event to showcase their support from ethnic minorities.
More Good Poll Numbers
More macaca fallout: some of Allen's supporters claimed that recent polling showing George in trouble merely reflected that all those suburban white people were on vacation before Labor Day when the pollsters called.
Whoops! A fresh Mason-Dixon poll (conducted after Labor Day) shows Allen's lead having shrunk from 16 percent at the end of July to just four percent (pretty much in the poll's margin of error). Allen leads 46%-42%, with plenty undecideds--which is about where other polls have recently put the race.
