Confederate racist ex-Senator George "Macaca" Allen is running to reclaim the Virginia Senate seat he lost in 2006 by being racist, or at least widely interpreted by everyone as such. But that's all over now! No more needless racial flare-ups on this campaign! Except for the comical one that just happened, and maybe more down the line.

Former Virginia Sen. George Allen, who was coasting to re-election in 2006 until he called someone, on video, the obscure racial epithet "macaca," is prepping a 2012 Senate run for his old seat! Finally, things are returning to normal.

George Allen was a Virginia Governor and Senator who was supposed to be a presidential contender until he called a dark-skinned young man an obscure racial slur that he learned from his mother. He is a real piece of work.
