Is Bob McDonnell getting the “macaca” treatment by the Washington Post in his gubernatorial run in Virginia?

Michael Barone says, yes.

And Ruth Marcus jois the Post’s front-page coverage in her column, “The Macaca Thesis: What Bob McDonnell Can’t Explain Away.”

Howard Kurtz jumps in with this tweet:

WP overplayed macaca, but VA gov nominee opposing working women in master’s thesis — at age 34! — is big campaign news. Not a stray remark

Maybe Kurtz can follow up with the Post editors on why McDonnell’s thesis is more important than Barack Obama’s college transcripts.
