Look for a new explanation by tomorrow. Incredible.

The guy used a derogatory and racist slur. Simple. All this spinning from the Allen camp makes him look even worse. Pathetic.

...Part of his western motif you know...

Unbelievable!

Are they seriously thinking that this is supposed to HELP them?

Some people are pretty ignorant when it comes to race/skin color.

I am a brown skinned hispanic and people always confuse me for being southern Asian, even people from Pakistan and India always think I'm from that area of the world.

Yet, while caca does mean shit, macaca/o still means monkey in spanish, so this doesn't fly.

...Their defense is 'I didn't call him monkey, I called him shithead'?

Marion Barry's 'I wasn't there to smoke crack, I was there to cheat on my wife' defense.

Good times...

(ducks)

Virgil "I only took $46,000 in illegal donations" Goode.

Perfect comparison...

Even if you buy that (which is hilarious btw), it still doesn't explain how they turned MOHAWK into MA. 

Maybe it's "ma", as in "mama", as in "your mama is shit"?  Now that's just low, calling out his mama like that.

Ed, Mary, Chris, Allen and Dick are all sitting around throwing out explanations at the wall and whichever one sticks or gets the most laughs, they use it for the day.

Stay tuned for tomorrows news.  This thing ain't going anywhere, and they only have themselves to blame.

"Campaign staffers made up the name" Dick said so.
No Allen said he "Made up the name"
Go with the "Mohawk" thing, Mary likes that one.
"Poop head" yeah that will work.............

:)

Does someone have a pic of a poop-head?  Love the monkey pic in Allen's hair.  Precious, a Hallmark moment.

And now Olberman can do an update, make him worst person, and Colbert can do a "I wasn't going to do this bc Jon did it, but I have to go with this story bc it got bigger" (pretty standard rule that jon hits a breaking hilarious story first, then steven picks up after the dust settles)

I think Allen needs to find these sources and tell them to quit helping. Seriously, the defense is now supposed to be that he didn't compare a brown-skinned person to a monkey but instead compared him to shit? Yeah, that'll calm things down.

continue to "help".  Not only is it entertaining, this could seriously be one of those unbelievable self-destruction moments that are so rare. 

Usually someone steps in to do real damage control, but everytime they open their mouths it gets worse.  And if it keeps going it WILL destroy not only his presidential aspirations but will hand his senate seat to Webb. 

Telling them "stop helping" is what Allen should do, not what I hope he will do.

....we can all ask him just what he meant, as Virginians not as his constituents.

"In order to ensure Senator Allen has full information about his constituents' interests and concerns, please use the following form to contact him. Please include your full name and address in the areas provided."

Having been inspired by the braintrust over at Allen HQ, I decided to try my hand at a few made up names for shithead

crookie - Crew Cut + Dookie
craphro - Crap + Afro
fecurly - Feces + Curly
mocaca  - Mohawk + Caca

Hmmm, wonder if any of those are insults in another language.  Oh wait, calling someone, who you mean no disrespect, a shithead is an insult.  Nevermind.

shcurls-shit curls
pooraight - poo + straight

who so chooses to continue, please let the class know when you hit upon a combination that both an alternative for shithead AND a racist slur in another language.

And the slur has to be you mother's native language.

And you have to not recognize it as a slur until you look it up on the internet.

of Dick Wad(hams) I am now believe that my original estimation of the guy as being vastly overrated was right on the mark!

But, I guess he could try to say that "There's no such thing as bad press!"

A BLOGGER DID NOT USE PERFECT ENGLISH IN HIS POST!! HE FAILED TO PROOFREAD, SPELL CHECK, AND HAVE A FRIEND LOOK OVER IT!! THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING!!!

You either need to get a job or get laid. Maybe both.
