More on George Allen (Unfortunately)
---
A few days ago I asked whether Senator George Allen (R-VA) is a libertarian.
Well, given that libertarians tend not to collect nooses as a hobby, I'm going to pencil in "no, he isn't" on the answer sheet.
I would be astounded if, given this damning New Republic exposé, he remains a viable presidential aspirant for long.
Nooses?
UPDATE: The issue is gaining traction. It's important to remember that Allen cannot dismiss these allegations as mere happenstance, the way Robert Byrd tried to rehabilitate himself. Allen was not the child of racists and did not grow up in the racist South. He consciously sought out an environment that was more amenable to his "Dixie fetish."
