George Allen in stock disclosure controversy.

“For the past five years, Sen. George Allen, has failed to tell Congress about stock options he got for his work as a director of a high-tech company,” an AP analysis shows. “Congressional rules require senators to disclose to the Senate all deferred compensation, such as stock options.”

    It’s a tough call as to who’s more in disgrace right now; Foley or Allen. Maybe we’ll see Allen slink off to “rehab” soon too.


  2. Heterodoxy says:

    Ethics committe please….Oh they are too busy. Mr Allen the IRS is on the phone. Mr Allen………Mr. Allen…………

    I can see why they want to keep the giant Hasert Scab in place. Once that baby comes off, the puss is going to flow endlessly. Baron ( as in Dune) anyone?


  4. Heterodoxy says:

    (F)allen!

    Enough has finally arrived!

    - I bet he was another one molested by a priest.

    - But a dem did this in 87.

    - Stay the course.

    - I am the decider.


  7. bones says:

    A rascist bigot with no ethical foundation might also commit criminal acts? You’re kidding? That’s why he’s a republican to begin with for Cri’sake.


  8. RUCerious says:

    Ethically challenged? Maybe it’s a prerequisite for entry into the Republican Legislative circle jerk?


  9. proudleftists says:

    Allen is toast. I hope that Webb doesn’t torn into another Lieberman !


  10. Jim says:

    $8: I hope that Webb doesn’t [turn] into another Lieberman!

    That would still be better than turning into another George Allen.

    Left Wing Ninnies!

    In your zeal to beat George Allen, you’ll elect Jim Webb, who is a decent, thoughtful patriot, which immediately puts him on the Dem fringe.

    You will be disappointed… and the Republic will survive.

    You buncha macacas…..didn’t you read the Terms of Use agreement:

    You agree not to:
    • Post any messages or provide links to any messages that endorse or oppose a particular political party or candidate for office.

    I’m afriggin’ American! Say it! REPEAT! I’m afriggin’ American.

    Another corrupt Republican. Not only is he a racist, a smug and sanctimonious bully, but he doesn’t think ethics laws apply to him either. That’s how it must be when all your friends are corrupt and you all belong to the same club where you swear to defend one another, cover for one another and everyone does as he pleases.
    It’s like a secret fraternity of Republiscum.

    Then we all might as well knit and spit. However, do you think it is o.k to call most rethugs corrupt, perverts, and morons?


  14. theswan says:

    Rules, or laws are not made for “republican members”. Ask hte decider.


  15. Jay Randal says:

    Please vote Allen out of the Senate this November election!


  16. Zooey says:

    And this went on for five years because….?

    LUMBROSO FACTOR

    The Declaration of Independence appealed to “consanguinity” or likeness of
    blood as grounds for Americans and Englishmen to stand together against
    royalty. Winston Churchill popularized the phrase, “Blood is Thicker than Water.”
    But, when George Allen was exposed as a Jew, secret, sinister and subversive
    forces suddenly became in disarray. Allen, whose mother was discovered to be
    an African-born, Tunisian Jewess by the name of Henrietta Lumbroso, had been
    the number-three supporter, next only to Dick Cheney, of the Bush Administration’s
    invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, at the behest of the Israeli Lobby. But, unlike
    Paul Wolfowitz, architect of the ill-fated atrocities, which introduced torture,
    war-criminality and inhumanity into White House policy and formulated abolition
    of habeas corpus, speedy-trials and protections against warrantless searches
    and seizures, Allen had not been known or seen as a Jew. In fact, Allen had
    promoted the likeness of his father, who had been an Anglo-Saxon football-coach.
    But, as he began to squirm, Allen sunk deeper into duplicity and inconsistency.

    It had seemed odd for a man, who held himself out to be Anglo-Saxon, to be so
    slavishly loyal to Israel. If blood is, indeed, thicker than water, why would
    someone such as Allen not cleave to the lineage of George Washington, who
    warned against “foreign entanglements,” instead of David Ben Gurion, who
    slaughtered the British, and Menachem Begin, who brutalized the Palestinians?
    In short, with no “blood ties” to the Middle-East, what possible reason would any
    “Anglo-Saxon” have to be in the region? The answer was that Allen’s blood-ties
    were with his own kind, who sought not only to gormandize the Middle-East, but
    to monopolize America. Sometimes, they have been open in their aggrandizing
    of power, such as Henry Kissinger and Alan Greenspan. Or, they may claim to
    have “discovered,” belatedly, that they were Jews, such as Madeleine Albright
    and John Kerry. When confronted, Allen, at first, tried to deflect the revelation by
    insisting that “religion” should not be mentioned. He, then, “embraced” his
    Jewishness and said that he was “proud” of it and, even, supported “diversity.”

    The element of deception soon became evident, as Allen professed that he
    never knew that he was a Jew. Then, he insisted that he had known, but that his
    mother had made him promise never to reveal it. Allen, who had billed himself
    as a “Christian” and “conservative,” plummeted, as he inexorably lined up
    with the descendants of Karl Marx, Abe Fortas and Dylan Klebold. Talk-show
    host Michael Savage, who exudes from the same blood as Allen, “commended”
    his kinsman, insisting that Americans support Allen “because” he is a Jew, not
    in spite of it. According to Savage, Columbus was a Jew and Spain collapsed
    because it had expelled the Jews in 1492. He omitted that Spain, actually, ushered
    in its greatest Golden Age of discovery, following the expulsion. Meanwhile,
    Allen “apologized” for the Confederate flag, he once had claimed to support, and
    drew closer to the Israeli Lobby, oil-barons and corporate-big-wigs. When
    Anglo-Saxons demanded an apology for his “apology,” he remained cool and
    aloof, comfortable with his “newfound” “roots” among the Ginsburgs and Feinsteins.

    Jews have frequently changed their names, in order to conceal their bloodline.
    Hollywood is replete with the “Kirk Douglases” and “Gregory Pecks,” who have
    tried to “soften” the image of their ancestry, while remaining loyal to their own ilk.
    Comedian Chevy Chase immediately launched a campaign to depict Jews as a
    “religion,” despite Savage’s acknowledgment of Allen’s ethnicity, and to characterize
    opponents of the Israeli Lobby as “bigots.” The ploy had been anticipated by
    Benjamin Franklin, who had called for a constitutional-amendment banning Jews,
    lest they gobble up the economy and subvert the political-system. The question is
    begged that if blood is thicker than water, how can an Allen, Breyer or Lieberman
    ever “represent” the “interests” of a people, with which they are at odds? One
    working for a company, while clandestinely serving another, would be said to have
    a “conflict-of-interest.” One allegiant to a foreign country, while selling out the
    interests of another, would be denominated a traitor. The Lumbroso factor has
    exposed the “blood” factor to be not only “bad-blood,” but a dastardly curse.

    #11: I think most “left-wing ninnies” know exactly who Jim Webb is and what his positions are on the issues. I’ll speak for myself and say that that’s why I’m supporting him. It’s actually a very easy choice, when the other option is a racist, corrupt buffoon like George Allen.


  19. onion says:

    i guess this calls for a nice little indictment, no?


  20. MyRightWing says:

    Is George Allen gay, too?


  21. Dick Cheney's Shill at Halliburton says:

    He and his staff have openly admitted it. Now I guess it’s a question of whether they can weasel out of it like Cheney. I hope the press has learned enough about stock options that they can do more than quote technical descriptions this time around.


  22. JPark says:

    Is Afriggin American a joke? Well, yes, he must be, because I am laughing. Be proud, AA…of being a thoroughly mediocre troll.
