MacacaMan Running Again! Bwahahaha!

[garybeck]

I guess this guy didn't get enough abuse last time he made a fool out of himself. Perhaps he doesn't realize the same video of him making racist bigoted remarks is still out there on Youtube and it's not going away anytime soon. Sure, you can apologize now (5 years later!) but most people realize it takes a certain kind of person to make that kind of remark, and a belated apology doesn't change who you are.

...snip... The former Virginia senator, who is running to regain the seat he lost, also said that he had paid a personal price for his remarks.

"My family had to endure a lot of taunts and insults because of my mistake, and I never want to have them have to go through something like that again."

Uh, well, bro, if you really don't want to have them go through something like that again, perhaps you should consider NOT RUNNING!

Just in case folks have misplaced the URL in the last 5 years, here it is again...

2. Yeah. I would not be laughing if I were the OP n/t

3. if his remarks killed his campaign last time, why wouldn't they again?

the youtube phenomenon can't be predicted. we are in unchartered waters. people dig up something a politician said in high school and it ruins their campaign. I see no reason why anything has changed in the last 5 years. this video will come back and bite him again. how bad will it bite? that's up to us.

4. I hear McDonald's is hiring.

Maybe he should stick to a job he won't screw up.
