It's clear in the Wash Post article (4+ / 0-)

This is not a spur-of-the-moment reference. This is what the Allen gang has been calling Mr. Sidarth.

Wadhams said Allen campaign staffers had begun calling Sidarth "mohawk" because of a haircut Wadhams said the Webb staffer has. "Macaca was just a variation of that," Wadhams said.

Washington Post article

The "mohawk" reference was absurd. I guess they don't think fast on their feet. The take-away info is the fact that they have been calling him "Macaca."

The age of journalism as the fourth estate has passed. We blog to survive.
