Sec. of Navy under Reagan have a lot to do with this endorsement.

However, "Macaca" was such a gift. It opened up Allen's racist past to scrutiny that not even the most hardened corporate media whores could ignore. And when he had a public fit over having his Jewish heritage mentioned and ended up explaining that he still eats ham sandwiches, well, he just proved himself to be an even bigger ass. (The Washington Post ran a piece about his wife a couple of weeks ago, and she explained that he was so "upset" about the Jewish incident, she couldn't be "mad" at him. Guess there's plenty of anti-Semitism to go around in that family.)

Now let's hope that voters will choose the military guy with the distinguished career over the racist idiot named George with the famous father. That the race is still so close is distressing. Allen absolutely needs to go.
