Yep. It's a non-issue really. The world didn't come to an end. I can think of far better things to eat our own over than the meaning and uses of the word macaca. Frankly, the Democrat hack deserved the word.
It is actually funny, if not sad, to see so many people in our own ranks go for the bait, hook, line and sinker, and suspend the offensive campaign, infight, go reactionary, and build up Webb (D) in the process.
This guy has polling results that must indicate he's still in freefall. The GOP needs to step in and save this guy. His presidential potential is zero, but we must keep that seat.
