...line and hunt you down. In the partisan world of political websites, there are few undecideds; we are not exactly a society of people who surf the Web to find arguments that we disagree with. So YouTube has mainly been useful for embarrassing enemies (popularizing Senator George Allen's macaca campaign-stump slur) or preaching to the converted (through videos of commentators like Michelle Malkin and Stephen Colbert...
...second day, a gothic journey into the partisan excesses of American politics, was all about what the Bush Administration has become. The President chose to campaign for two of the more skeevy candidates offered by the Republicans this year, the adulterous Pennsylvania Congressman Don Sherwood and the macaca-stained Virginia Senator George Allen. One might legitimately ask, Why on earth would he do that? The answer, I suspect, is twofold. Bush, ever antsy, was desperate to campaign somewhere, hoping to replicate his stunning late-campaign successes on the stump in 2002 and 2004. But there aren't too many Republicans...

He said it was just a back rub. Voters, too, aren't sure whether they're being strangled or massaged...

The Sons of Confederate Veterans claim they're offended by one of his many apologies, in which he said the Confederate flag (once on display in his home) was "an emblem of hate." If you're keeping score (we are), Allen has now alienated South Asians, Jews, blacks and fans of the Confederacy. Talk about whittling away at your base...
...possible that Allen really didn’t know the meaning of the word “macaca,” as he claimed? Sure. But public figures shouldn’t use words they don’t know. Likewise, they shouldn’t quote texts they don’t agree with unless they say so. And they shouldn’t apologize for something unless they are truly sorry. Otherwise they might end up like Larry: unrepentant, and, at least temporarily, unemployed...
