Most politically incorrect word
Brian December 16th, 2006
It is now official. The “m-word” is the most politically incorrect word.
From the article:
The word “macaca,” used by outgoing Republican Sen. George Allen of Virginia to describe a Democratic activist of Indian descent who was trailing his campaign, was named the most politically incorrect word of the year on Friday by Global Language Monitor, a nonprofit group that studies word usage.
The word might have changed the political balance of the U.S. Senate[.]
It is still hard for me to believe, this one word, uttered right here in Dickenson County by a U.S. Senator, could have created such a huge stir in the world.
Jayne’s friend, Kristin, was visiting from Ohio last weekend and we took her to the Breaks for dinner. Both of them are fairly apolitical, so I doubt either understood why I drove so slowly by that very spot where Sen. Allen used the “M-word” and made what most people thought impossible a reality.
I stayed there for my fiancee’s graduation at ASL…I tell friends around here that I have spent the night at George Allen’s Waterloo.
