REALITY = STRANGER THAN FICTION
in deep macaca
Seriously, how could the news around George Allen get any worse? At this point, all we'll need in some video of him clubbing disabled children with dead baby seals.
- New 'N Word' Woe For George Allen
RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 26, 2006 (CBS/AP) A noted political scientist joined one of Sen. George Allen's former college football teammates in claiming the senator used a racial slur to refer to blacks in the early 1970s, a claim Allen dismisses as "ludicrously false."
Larry J. Sabato, one of Virginia's most-quoted political science professors and a classmate of Allen's in the early 1970s, said in a televised interview Monday that Allen used the epithet.
Sabato's assertion came on the heels of accusations by Dr. Ken Shelton, a radiologist who was a tight end and wide receiver for the University of Virginia in the early 1970s when Allen was quarterback. He said Allen not only used the n-word frequently but also once stuffed a severed deer head into a black family's mailbox.
Separately, the Washington Post reported that Christopher Taylor, 59, an anthropologist at the University of Alabama, said that during a visit to Allen's Virginia home in 1982, Allen referred to turtles in a pond on his property and said that only "the [racial slur] eat them."
Could this be some kind of Democratic version of the Swift Boat campaign? Possibly - stranger things have happened in American politics. But...a severed deer head? I don't think the Dems are creative enough to come up with even that (unless they've been watching The Godfather a lot).
