Poor George

As the great and now, unfortunately, late Ann Richards said about George Bush I, "Poor George, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth." The same can be said for Virginia Senator George Allen. After calling an American citizen "macaca" and saying "Welcome to America" his non-apologies and half-hearted apologies seem to have left many Virginians questioning the wisdom of putting Allen back in the Senate. And stealing someone else's amendment usually doesn't endear one to the masses either.

Yesterday on "Meet the Press," Allen and his opponent, Jim Webb, squared off to debate a few issues. Seems that most feel that Webb won that battle. For more on the "Meet the Press" segment as well as the Allen-Webb race, this New York Times article offers an interesting perspective. And for more general thoughts about Allen, check him out at No. 7 on this week's Conservative Idiots list.
