Good, America has been going through a nightmare for 6 years.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:01 pmGood. The racist, religious, bigoted, redneck asshole needs to suffer.
It’s justice.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:01 pmHE’s having a nightmare? Now he knows what it’s been like for patriotic Americans for the last 6 years…
November 9th, 2006 at 3:01 pmIs this George’s first time ever not getting his way?
Is this his first time ever getting a lemon from life?
Is this his first time ever not winning the popularity contest?
Poor guy has led a charmed life until now, which has just left him unable to cope with the inevitable. What’s he gonna do now?
November 9th, 2006 at 3:02 pmThe wheel of Karma misses no-one.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:04 pmIt ain’t limbo. It’s defeat. He could have gone to Walter Reed for shell-shock treatment if he hadn’t cut funding for such things!
November 9th, 2006 at 3:06 pmShell-shock is so WW I.
It’s post macaca stress syndrome.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:13 pmthis is like a christmas when you were a kid, that ONE christmas when you got everything you wanted, and you suddenly found yourself with too many things to play with. you couldn’t enjoy anything as much as you should because you were just too distracted by other things. I mean, come on — Rick Santorum gone AND Conrad Burns gone AND control of the house AND Delay’s seat gone Democratic AND George Allen GONE AND CONTROL OF THE SENATE! Where do you start savoring? I guess George Allen’s misery is as good a place as any.

I can go with that.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:18 pmBy strange coincidence, that’s exactly how I felt exactly two years ago.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:18 pmThat’s how I’ve felt for the past 6 years.
Well, apparently he woke up, because I just heard his concession speech on AAR.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:19 pmawww…
November 9th, 2006 at 3:19 pmcompared to the nightmare the rest of us have been going through, i just find it so darn hard to feel sorry for him.
Feeling compassion for the guy isn’t wrong, but let’s be honest…..he did it to himself. It was his election to lose…and HE lost it.

Updated: 6 minutes ago
WASHINGTON – Sen. George Allen on Thursday conceded the Virginia race to Democrat Jim Webb, declining to push for a recount in a tight Senate race that was the last to be decided.
“I respect their decision,†Allen said of Virginia voters during a speech to supporters. “I called to congratulate Jim Webb and his team.â€
November 9th, 2006 at 3:25 pmPoor George; he isn’t used to losing. He probably has never been fired from a job in his life. How could he not be depressed? In the meantime, millions are happy while he is sad. I’ll try not to smile so much, but it has been very hard. Our country has been held hostage by the false christians and the neocons for six years now. Freedom feels like a warm breeze in the spring.
It sucks to be you today George Allen. Most of us have been there and done that. We feel your pain. Can you feel our joy?
November 9th, 2006 at 3:31 pmGood. The racist, religious, bigoted, redneck asshole needs to suffer.
It’s justice.

Deserves to be repeated. Its perfectly true.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:31 pmI would hate to be George Allen’s dog right now. To me, he seems to be a man that would have no problem with kicking a defenseless animal.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:32 pmAllen just conceded:
U.S. Sen. George Allen conceded defeat Thursday in his re-election bid, sealing the Democrats’ takeover of the Senate and concluding a dramatic fall for a one-time top-tier presidential contender.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:34 pmSen. Allen Concedes Defeat in Virginia
I think Allen’s gonna make it, this won’t kill him. He still has a bitchin’ home that’s probably 3x the size of any of ours, and he drives nice cars, has lots of investments, has a nice resume’, probably has sexy lady freinds and what not, can still beat all of us up. He can beat up my dad too.
He’ll be fine.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:40 pmIf he hadn’t been dreaming in his reality-challenged world, perhaps he would not be having (or been giving the U.S.) a nightmare? I seem to remember some neocon telling progressives to “get over it” – so, back at ya’, George.
November 9th, 2006 at 3:41 pmand the reason we should care is?
November 9th, 2006 at 3:54 pmFor the big frat boy bully, I would like to quote from the movie A Few Good Men.
Allen, “you f–ked with the wrong Marine
Jim Webb will be a wonderful Senator and Statesman!
November 9th, 2006 at 3:59 pmDemanding a recount in an election that has been held on electronic computerized voting machines is just about totally pointless. You can tell the computers to print out their vote totals again, but they typically will spit out the same numbers over and over again.
The Rove-GOP did a little electronic computerized vote rigging on Nov. 7 in at least Montana and Virginia Senate races, if you bother to compare the dead-on exit polls numbers with the “vote counts” on electronic computerized voting machines run by Republican corporations. Just compare election results in Senate races across the country to the election day exit polls. In the states with the most electronic voting machines the GOP candidates are much closer to the winning Democrats. Shades of 2004, which had GOP-rigging of electronic voting in at least half of the U. S. states…
We need to dump all these electronic computerized voting machines and vote tabulating machines. They provide much too much easy opportunity for GOP thugs and traitors to hack, rig and steal our elections. It started with Chuck Hagel, who ran on and was “elected ” by his own corporation’s voting machines back in 1997 in Nebraska. The GOP rigged the 2000, 2002 and 2006 elections.
In the 2006 elections, Karl Rove and his thugs probably gave up on rigging House elections, because it was a lost cause (reality!) and because it would be a little too obvious… They probably concentrated their fraud on the several close Senate races.
We also need to criminalize the GOP vote and voter suppression activities that were documented in the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Elections in Florida and Ohio and elsewhere. If robo-calling were a felony crime, there would probably be much less GOP election-eve robo-calling…
November 9th, 2006 at 4:00 pmCheers.
Awwwwwwww, poor baby…NOT!!!
That’s politics for ya, George! To quote one of my favorite movie villains — “one day cock of the walk, next day a feather duster.” The pension he’ll probably receive each year as a former member of Congress — where he’s been working approximately three days a week! — is more than most of us earn in a year…and if it comes to that, how many of us actually get pensions anymore? Not to mention the fact that it shouldn’t be that hard for him to land an even cushier job at some PAC or other. Why should I feel sorry for this yutz?
November 9th, 2006 at 4:17 pmGeorge Allen just conceded Virginia.
November 9th, 2006 at 4:17 pmI AGREE.
Here is my suggestion to George Allen:
November 9th, 2006 at 4:23 pmTake Macaca pills with some Jewish Penicilin (Chicken Soup)
Boo-fricken-hoo!
November 9th, 2006 at 4:29 pmAllen has conceded but the nightmare continues for those who bear the brunt of our policies.
November 9th, 2006 at 4:40 pmOkay, seriously…please stop gloating about his misery and talking about karma in the same post.
You’re ironically dooming us to Allen in the White House in 2008.
November 9th, 2006 at 4:41 pmThis was a guy who wanted to be president!?!? Someone who locks himself in a room with the drapes drawn hugging a pillow?
Jesus, what a pussy.
November 9th, 2006 at 4:52 pmPray for the deer of Virginia.
November 9th, 2006 at 4:54 pmGoing from a reality-based reality to a real reality can be quite shocking. Many here have gone thru having their world turned inside out and upside down and it is quite disconcerting.
Like getting hit in the back of the head with a rubber hammer.
Welcome to the war of the word Mr. Allen.
Have some Victory Gin.
November 9th, 2006 at 5:09 pmwhat’s he whining about? now he can devote full-time to his presidential campaign!
November 9th, 2006 at 5:10 pmAs a fellow human being, I don’t like to see people so miserable. But Allen has made others very miserable for a very long time, so my compassion for him is limited. Perhaps a huge life-change such as this loss that he has suffered will cause him to reflect upon how he got himself into this losing situation. He did it himself with his red-neck attitude, his racism, his arrogance and hubris, his bullying tactics and general Bush-like traits.
November 9th, 2006 at 5:20 pmWhat kind of leader can Allen be if he can’t deal with defeat? Was he surprised that his dirty tricks and the electronic voting machine hacks didn’t give him a victory?
I’m sure Fox news will have a job for Allen.
November 9th, 2006 at 5:24 pmFYI:
In Macaca World a temper tantrum is called a “nightmare.”
November 9th, 2006 at 5:25 pmIf George thinks this is bad, he’s in for a surprise when he lands on the doorstep to hell.

Hey Mongo, did you call into “Hot Mama” Steph’s show this morning?
November 9th, 2006 at 5:44 pmI would hate to be George Allen’s dog right now. To me, he seems to be a man that would have no problem with kicking a defenseless animal.
Comment by dlet — November 9, 2006 @ 3:32 pm
Not just his dog. If I was his sister I wouldn’t be visiting him anytime soon to offer condolences.
November 9th, 2006 at 5:47 pmGood… I hope he commits suicide.
November 9th, 2006 at 6:04 pmMy heart goes out to him and his family.
November 9th, 2006 at 6:25 pmGoodbye macacca George, Goodbye.
November 9th, 2006 at 6:39 pmGeorgie’s mad because when Jim Webb refused to go to bed, and he tried to pull him by the hair upstairs like he used to do to his sister, Jim’s hair piece fell off. Georgie then knew it was all over.
No seriously, nothing makes me smile more than to see the ass-hole football player types get what they deserve. Hats off Senator-elect Webb.
November 9th, 2006 at 6:47 pmOh, boo-freaking-hoo.
November 9th, 2006 at 7:42 pmI so ENJOYED seeing Webb kick Allen’s “soft teeth down his whining throat” as he said about his Dem opponent the previous election. Let him open his lying, racist mouth one more time and we’ll kick more of his soft teeth down his whining throat.
November 9th, 2006 at 7:52 pmwoo-hoo!! Allen’s a whining titty-baby!!! – sure hope his mommy can make it over to the house to explain to him that it’s all the fault of that no-good-wife-of-his, etc., then he can get back to being a giant bully/pussy/coward AND loser……what a p.o.s.

The real macaca got the boot he (it ?) richly deserves. Congratulations to the good people of Virginia !
November 10th, 2006 at 1:11 amIf he was shell shocked, it was clearly not from a Smart Bomb.
November 10th, 2006 at 1:58 amHey ForTruth what the hell is “can still beat all of us up.” supposed to mean?
I’d would easily and happily kick the arse of that prick.
November 10th, 2006 at 3:28 amWell I would like to take a little credit for adding to his misery & pushing him to concede. I called his office pressuring him to do the honorable thing & concede. Then I emailed his fellow Virginia senator & urged him to have a sit down with Allen to tell him that he must concede.
Told them that Allen could not hide behind a ghost district any longer.
November 10th, 2006 at 6:09 amHow long before he drives over to Richmond, and declares himself President of the Confederate States of America?
November 10th, 2006 at 8:08 amComments above are damm hilarious! Who says Democrats have no sense of humor??? We’re not all joke bumblers like Kerry… But seriously, let’s stop with macaca references. No reason for any of us to stoop to Allen’s level.
November 10th, 2006 at 8:33 amAm I the ONLY person in the nation who has noticed that the last two Republicans to concede in this election were….”Burns and Allen”??? Maybe I’m just older than everyone else and remember that comedy team. Say goodnight, Georgie…
