The shameless Washington Post has somehow turned George Allen’s “macaca” remark into a two-day front-page story. Today’s installment notes that “Democrats, left-wing bloggers, and civil rights groups called him ‘insensitive’ and ‘racist,’ while some conservatives called him ‘foolish’ and ‘mean.’” The story ends with a nod to The Corner:

Rich Lowry, editor of the conservative National Review, wrote on the magazine’s Web site Tuesday that he did not think Allen was “trying to speak a coded racist language.” But Lowry said Allen showed he “has a mean streak.”
