So seriously here; one can't say: "What a monkey!" When I use that word it is in reference to buffoon like behavior. I guess some people have thin skins.
I detest Geoge Allen but this seems overblown.
There was no insult in this ~ just a statement of fact ~ whether George meant it or not.
Could Allen just have been ignorant of the definition? My girlfriend is a shirttail relative of his, she's met him, and she is not impressed with his intelligence. Yes, she votes Republican...
Sen. Allen speaks Latin?
I have seen George Allen's name on short lists of possible Republican nominees for President.
What is there to "detest" about Mr. Allen? Do tell.
Better we find out now than in the midst of a 2008 Presidential run.
I think he was clearly referring to the late dance craze, the Macarena, and it came out wrong.
BTW why do you detest Allen? I know little about him but he's starting to get presidential play (maybe not after this) - what's the deal?
What is the South-East Asian name for a type of monkey found in South-East Asia?
He didn't even say that. Read the article (and I'd encourage you to find the video on YouTube). This is stupid on a grand scale.
George Bush -- problem: too dumb
George Allen -- problem: knows Latin.
We just can't win!!
BTW, I managed to find this guy's resume and student website (he's entering his senior year) on the web. Guess who he supported for pres. in 2004? Lieberman. Why? Strong on security.
It's seems like a small problem but the big picture says it's a bigger problem. I can't stand his sneer. Very much like Bubba's. Cocked eyebrow and that creepy droopy lip.
I'll never vote for him. And I don't think he'll ever be a contender.
Don't laugh but #17. It's a really creepy image thing.
Just a dumb nerdy kid. He likes sports and writes about the UVA sports for his school paper.
What? They didn't mention he was a fellow journalist? Huh. You'd think they would. (Not really.)
I am just loving how the Dems are reaching on this. (Oh and the whole "European slur" angle wasn't the first attack they made. They claimed he was referring to -- get this -- a Chinese Rhesus monkey.)
You decide to vote for people based on whether or not they have a droopy lip?
