Relax, they just called him a "shithead."

Three Virginia republicans are coming to Sen. Allen's aid in trying to explain away the whole "Macaca" thing. By deconstructing the word into syllables, they're saying that "Macaca" is a hybrid - nay, an amalgamation - of the words "mohawk" and "caca."

Opponents of Allen have said that Sidarth's hair was clearly styled as a mullet rather than as a Mohawk.

You've got to be a real moron to mistake a mohawk for a mullet. Seriously. Nice try, guys.
