Republicans’ comments may hurt at polls, AP

“One Republican senator [Burns, MT], described his house painter as a ‘little Guatemalan man.’ Another [Allen, VA], called an Indian man a ‘macaca,’ a type of monkey.”

“[T]he comments by Burns and Allen have garnered heavy attention as their party is trying to improve its showing among minorities.”

Burns and Allen! Now I understand. Theyve been doing a Burns and Allen impression!
