It was a moment that encapsulated everything that was wrong with the GOP. And while no one can say if that cost him the election or cost the GOP the Senate, one thing is clear to me - it cost Allen the election and cost the GOP the Senate.

Allen didn't have to ask George Bush what "Macaca" means. George Allen's mother is French Tunesian--presumably Mama Allen tossed the phrase around an occasion or too. Allen himself speaks some French. Presumably Portuguese and French have similiar sounding racial slurs. The again, given Allen's past it's just as possible that he picked the term up from one of his White Supremacist buddies. Or maybe this was simply a coincidence and he meant to say "Mohawk" to a guy with a mullet.
