I think he's plenty smart. What you’re saying is that George Allen was just too stupid to know what words he was using.

Was the source data limited to Virginians only? In my own family, the older folks are wiser - and more sensitive to this sort of thing. So my experience lead me to expect the opposite of what I see here, but then my family is from the Northern Mid-West (Indiana/Michigan/Illinois) and New York. Kenton,
