Bad News About Sen. Allen Every Day
Sen. George Allen's campaign is going down the toilet.
We are still seeing stories about his reaction when the fact about his being Jewish came out -- how he castigated the reporter for what he called "aspirsians," as if he thought saying someone was Jewish was saying something bad about them. And we are still seeing stories about how he lied at the debate when he said his mother was raised as a Christian "as far as I know" when his mother had told him otherwise.
And we are still seeing stories about his singling out the only dark face at a campaign event and calling him "macaca," a word he claims he just made up but a word that just happens to be a derogatory term for blacks used in the part of the world where his mother grew up and lived.
And now we are seeing story after story about Allen's racism.

Virginia deserves better.
Let's elect Jim Webb.
