I’m not sure the sight of Obama Girl jiggling her junk in pink panties emblazoned with the letters OBAMA across the back is going to move voters in New Hampsire. (At least not move them to cast their ballots for Obama).

But damn. Nobody’s jiggling for Giuliani, that’s for sure.

Democrats Go Two For Two so far in Rolling Stone’s Top 10:

George Allen’s not the only 2008 contender, of course, to have made insensitive remarks to America’s Asian Indian population.

There’s Delaware Democrat Joe Biden, who was also recently caught on YouTube, marvelling at the explosion of Indian immigration and bragging about his “great relationship” with the community by saying: “You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent… I’m not joking!”

And then there was Hillary Clinton who tried to warm up an audience at a Missouri fundraiser and also set up a quote from India’s most famous pacifist by saying of Gandhi: “He ran a gas station down in St. Louis.”

It’s a wonder Allen didn’t just call his unauthorized videographer “Apu.” He probably could have gotten away with that one.

Video of George Allen’s racial slur has taken the number one slot on YouTube’s most-watched list. Take that, Hillary Duff.

George Allen: Digital foot in twenty-first century mouth

There have already been strong intimations that Virginia Republican Senator George Allen has a “race problem.” Now the 2008 GOP presidential pretender has shown off his unique sensitivities again by repeatedly calling an Asian operative from his competitor’s campaign “Macaca.” A Macaca is monkey native to Asia. The man, S.R. Sidarth, is of Indian decent.

Not content with insinuating that Sidarth is a primate, Allen also said to him, “Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia!” For the record: Sidarth was born in Virginia.

Unluckily — more than unluckily, stupidly — for Allen, Sidarth’s job is to videotape Allen’s public appearances, in the hopes, it would seem, of capturing a revealing off-color moment of candor such as this one. Today, the video evidence of Allen’s apparent race problem is all over the Internet, thanks to the wonders of YouTube.
