Laugh of the Day

George "Macaca" Allen has endorsed Fred Thompson. Allen has been appointed co-chair. The reasoning for this is sickening.

Some strategists said Mr. Allen’s appointment was tactical.

“Right now, the play is to the base,”said Jack Burkman, a Republican strategist and lobbyist, and Mr. Allen “remains very popular with the base.” The macaca incident “did not change the impression of Allen at all” among his conservative followers, Mr. Burkman said.

Because these people like Allen's past with the Confederate Flag and race-baiting. This says much about how desperate Thompson is to get votes.
