You know George Allen fears Jim Webb when he resorts to stealing Tim Kaine's secret weapon from the 2005 campaign: The magic eyebrow.
Yes, in George Allen's latest television commercial he demonstrates that he also has the ability to freakishly allow one of his eyebrows to wander up the side of his forehead. Although Allen, always the Party stalwart, chose to move his right eyebrow and not his left as Kaine did last year.
The Richmond Times Distpatch has the story and you can watch the video titled "Family" here.
In his new television commercial, the conservative Republican speaks to the camera, an eyebrow noticeably arching as he talks about protecting children from crime.
...
"He's trying to impersonate a popular governor," Mo Elleithee, Kaine's former communications director, said of the Allen eyebrow.
...
[The ads] ...are produced by Scott Howell, who created ads for failed gubernatorial candidate Jerry W. Kilgore -- among them, a controversial death-penalty spot.
Update: Thanks for the picture Nichole.

I don't think Tim Kaine's eyebrow got (summercat - 6/24/2006 11:27:58 AM)
much positive press--personally, I had hoped he'd get a botox injection to calm it down. But Allen may be trying the mimicry game. He is sure trying on the warm fuzzy act.
That is hysterical! (Susan Mariner - 6/24/2006 11:50:09 AM)
I don't know if there's any truth to the part about trying to look like Kaine, but this commercial is really funny if you watch it with that in mind set. I have to admit I'm one of those rare folks who watches TV hardly ever, and only on purpose, so I never would have seen this without this link, but I'm going to email everyone I know to tell them to look for the eyebrow trick.
you're right (Corey - 6/24/2006 12:32:56 PM)
Ya, probably not intentional, but hysterical none the less.
And... (Corey - 6/24/2006 12:36:59 PM)
And I couldn't pass up the opportunity of working WWE's wrestler 'The Rock' into our political discussion.
Hahahaha (Laura86 - 6/24/2006 4:15:04 PM)
He looks like he's trying SO hard to raise that eyebrow...with Kaine it's just natural.
Check it out.. (Nichole - 6/24/2006 7:35:24 PM)
Here is a still from. He looks so goofy in all of his makeup and his eyebrow.
Nice (Corey - 6/24/2006 8:28:39 PM)
He's definitely decked out in some heavy makeup.
Oh and.. (Nichole - 6/24/2006 7:36:06 PM)
That should raise a few eyebrows...
Ha ha.
And that background ... (mkfox - 6/24/2006 8:44:57 PM)
looks like a wall of slime behind him! haha
OMG, What about this (Greg Bouchillon - 6/24/2006 9:29:20 PM)
Kaine raises his left eyebrow and Allen raises his right eyebrow. What are the odds.
Combine them.. (Nichole - 6/25/2006 1:57:28 AM)
Put them together and you have someone who has gotten too much Botox and plastic surgery.
And a very confused politician.
