This is something Dr. Shelton said:

"I never really understood George," Shelton said. "He has a disregard for a lot of people. "He chewed tobacco and would walk down the hall in Newcombe Hall without a cup, spitting on the floor and on the walls because he knew somebody would be there to clean it up - black janitors. It was disgusting."

Yes, that is a picture of the young George Allen.

I had collected some of these spitting stories earlier:

Once considered a shoe-in for re-election, his [Allen's]campaign is imperiled. Talk of him as a 2008 presidential candidate has ceased.

There’s a white, soft-top Jeep Wrangler in my neighborhood which, for the past year, has featured a blue, Allen-for-Senate sticker on its back bumper. Maybe a stranger peeled it off. But yesterday morning, when I took my black lab Max for his morning walk, the sticker was gone.

So, too, may go the political career of Sen. Felix Macacawitz.

Thomas F. Schaller is an associate political science professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

As I wrote in a comment yesterday, the two Allen yard signs that had been up in my neighborhood are no longer there, and the local GOP leader does not have an Allen sign up (he does have a Wolf sign up).
