Holy crap... (Delta Mike - 6/27/2006 1:36:26 PM)
... is that for real? Please tell me it is!
It's either real or... (Lowell - 6/27/2006 1:40:11 PM)
a professional quality PhotoShop job. If it's real, it's priceless. If it's PhotoShop, it's dead-on satire.
It's a photshop. (loboforestal - 6/27/2006 1:55:51 PM)
They removed the "root beer" and the "lemonade" from George's hands.
Original, un-retouched photo here !!! (loboforestal - 6/27/2006 2:26:40 PM)
Nice photo (Eric - 6/27/2006 2:43:43 PM)
I'll bet George would have done well as a college republican.
Greatest pic EVER! (phriendlyjaime - 6/27/2006 1:38:34 PM)
I think it was from a movie... (Josh - 6/27/2006 1:44:30 PM)
It ain't a picture - it was a movie:

I like this NHB guy.
I stole that comment from NLS n/t (Josh - 6/27/2006 1:44:52 PM)
Real or not (Alicia - 6/27/2006 1:48:07 PM)
Webb has always stood up for his country
Allen has always stood for..... himself? Football? His dad? I don't know. It stumps me when I try to figure it out.
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 1:53:50 PM)
You mean the convicted felon who lost... (Lowell - 6/27/2006 2:22:49 PM)
to Chuck Robb after Jim Webb defended Robb against said felon's slanderous attacks on Robb's military record?
PS Why does John Warner hate North so much? Just curious, since you are such the uber-Republican!
Isn't it fact that Webb was defeated by North in the ring (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 2:41:46 PM)
Lowell,
Isn't it a fact that Webb lost in the ring? Yes or no.
Read "The Nightingale's Song" (Lowell - 6/27/2006 2:48:46 PM)
The whole story is in there.
Defeated? (LAS - 6/27/2006 2:49:25 PM)
Not exactly. He did lose, however, by a decision. Lots of controversy surrounding that one, if you can imagine.
Allen ... (mkfox - 6/27/2006 1:53:08 PM)
the California Confederate! It's remarkable how he wears the cowboy boots for campaigning even though he's from Cali, never was a cowboy and there's no cowboys in Virginia! While Webb's family has been living in Va since the colonial era and his ascendants have fought in every war since.
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 1:57:05 PM)
Rural Values? (Bubby - 6/27/2006 2:40:05 PM)
Cattle Annie's isn't for rural folk. It's full of gussied up suburban rednecks. The rural values folk are gathered at places where bluegrass is the rule and the lights usually go out early. Comfortable leather-soled oxfords are fashionable. Bib overalls are common.
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 2:48:12 PM)
Waylon Jennings - nice example (Bubby - 6/27/2006 3:24:25 PM)
Such talent. Wasted. Fell to gluttony and excess. Buried by his mother. Forgot his roots, took on aires, bad friends, and a monkey for his back. Some rural values poster boy eh? Is that your style?
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 3:37:53 PM)
You miss the point completely. (Left Wing - 6/28/2006 7:51:39 AM)
Anyone can wear cowboy boots and they do in every state in the U.S. But...IT DOESN'T MAKE THEM A COWBOY! George Allen can wear a pink tutu...but it won't make him a ballerina. Webb wasn't "dressing up" like a soldiers (like the other idiot George) he was an actual soldier.
Cowboy? (DukieDem - 6/27/2006 3:09:39 PM)
Jockeys ride horses, Cowboys herd cattle on the open range, and trolls make comments with the expressed intent of annoying everyone.
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 3:17:22 PM)
AHAHAHHAHAHA (DukieDem - 6/27/2006 3:26:31 PM)
Here comes the homophobia! You are a national treasure, please keep on commenting.
Webb wears combat boots (PaulVa - 6/27/2006 2:13:12 PM)
So that people like George Allen can wear their cowboy boots.
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 2:22:09 PM)
You must not (PaulVa - 6/27/2006 3:17:58 PM)
be used to wearing them.
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 3:23:07 PM)
A question (PaulVa - 6/27/2006 2:15:36 PM)
Besides traumatizing his little sister and throwing his siblings through glass doors, what was George Allen doing when Jim Webb served?
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 2:19:41 PM)
Nah... (Alicia - 6/27/2006 3:50:49 PM)
Bringing up North is just a diversion for you since you can't defend Allen!
Funny!

Wet idle airmass

I heard (PaulVa - 6/27/2006 3:16:25 PM)
Ollie North was pretty much covered in his own blood in that fight.
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 3:22:06 PM)
Webb coached prepped Ollie (Alicia - 6/27/2006 3:52:51 PM)
Since he was worried Webb would damage him (metal plate in North's head, etc.)
Read about it, or I guess you have. Repubs are at least good at TRYING to spin - but you're getting your jollies with a pretty informed crowd.
So the effect is that you look... well let's just say - uninformed.
Webb's coach prepped Ollie (should say) (Alicia - 6/27/2006 3:53:27 PM)
COMMENT HIDDEN (Lewis Armistead - 6/27/2006 4:05:08 PM)
Ollie North, whatever. (Delta Mike - 6/27/2006 6:34:45 PM)
But I'd pay to see Webb box the stuffing out of Allen.
Unless (PaulVa - 6/27/2006 3:21:31 PM)
Like the mayor of Spokane.
Oh wait. Tjose were young boys.
And can somebody explain what Rush Limbaugh was doing in the Western Hemisphere's capital of child prostitution with a bottle of viagra?
Or Matt Glavin (PaulVa - 6/27/2006 3:26:55 PM)
A former Santorum staffer who was caught masturbating in public and tried to fondle an undercover park ranger.
And let's not forget Brian Doyle, the #2 person at Homeland Security and former GOP activist, at least he was one until he got arrested for child porn.
Come to think of it, is it me or is a sizable percentage of the Republican Party just a bunch of sexual pervs?

A REPUBLICAN from Illinois. Well, underage girll, but still.
Yeah, I notice you left that part out.
phhhhhht (PM - 6/27/2006 3:42:20 PM)
I've found a picture of Mr. Armistead, aka "rides wet salami"; he's standing to the right of the farmer in this 10 second interview. The picture is unmistakably him. And in real life he sounds just like his writing

Did you know (PaulVa - 6/27/2006 3:56:58 PM)
That ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a Republican activist?
Or that Dan Crane, another Republican, had sex with a congressional page?
Or that Beverly Russell, fro the Christian Coalition, had sex with her cousin?
Or that a Republican state senator from Nevada recently pled guilty to molesting his two daughters?
And these are the people who want to preach morality in our schools?
Yuck.
Which uniform is Allen wearing? (Eric - 6/28/2006 10:08:42 AM)
I'm not up on Civil War uniforms - is Allen wearing a Confederate or Union uniform?
Uniforms are worn by the military... (Loudoun County Dem - 6/28/2006 10:32:27 AM)
...what George Felix Allen, Jr. is wearing is a costume, similar to his dressing up as a cowboy. What is next? a Fireman? Gene Simmons?
Good point! (Eric - 6/28/2006 10:40:45 AM)
But I'm trying to figure out what side he's pretending to be on. Is he pretending to be a Virginia/Confederate soldier or a Northerner?
According to imdb.com... (Loudoun County Dem - 6/28/2006 10:53:11 AM)
George Felix Allen, Jr. is billed as 'Confederate Officer':
http://imdb.com/title/tt0279111/fullcredits
Hardly surprising given his confederate fixation.
It makes me wonder if he knew which flag was supposed to be protected from the evil flag burners.
