Senator George Allen: I’m Thoroughly Unimpressed

by Bill Simon

I watched Senator George Allen on Meet the Depressed this morning with Tim Russert. I have to say, for my first impression of the man, I am thoroughly UNIMPRESSED with his grasp of issues.

Allen completely avoided having to answer the truth when Russert asked him twice to confirm that Allen stated he voted for the Iraq War because “to not do so would be disloyal to the President.”

Right…that’s a great reason for voting for such an act for our military to undertake…shows a complete ability to think independently (NOT!).

This guy is a Republican candidate for President in 2008? What a squishy guy.

Does anyone else feel like they’re getting assaulted (by ads and e-mails) by this Hillary vs. Rice ’08 concept?

Not at all. The Democratic machine is focused on this year, as we should be.

Today's Deep Thought

I remember that one fateful day when coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. 'You don't have to tell me,' I said. 'I'm off the team, aren't I?' 'Well,' said coach, 'you never were really on the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. you show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times.' It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
