WOW. Another Republican scandal, another tie to George Allen. Just another day in the United States of America.
From Radar Online:
George Allen, the newly Jewish and allegedly racist senator from Virginia, was supposed to skate to a re-election victory next month and promptly start posturing toward the White House; instead, owing to a series of colossal campaign missteps, he's locked in a dead heat with Democratic candidate Jim Webb.And now comes word that among the conservative Allen's campaign contributors is, according to recently filed court documents, a porn-loving, adulterous, abusive drunk who likes to advertise on Craig's List for three-ways and anal sex and takes naked pictures of himself standing at attention.
The contributor in question is Craig T. Schelske, the latest sanctimonious Christian Republican to be outed as a wannabe Rick James. Schelske is the husband and former manager to Nashville singer and Dancing With the Stars contestant Sara Evans. He is also a failed Republican congressional candidate, the executive director of American Destiny, which seeks to teach children about "the role of God and Christianity in America's story," and chairman of CRAIGPAC, a vanity political action committee that gives to Republican candidates. Last week, Evans filed a bombshell divorce complaint [PDF] against Schelske in Tennessee, accusing her husband of being, well, a porn-loving, adulterous, abusive drunk who likes to advertise on Craig's List for three-ways and anal sex and takes naked pictures of himself standing at attention. In addition to cheating on her with their nanny, Evans said, Schelske "frequently watches pornography on each of [the family's] three computers," has "at least 100 photographs of [himself] posing with his erect penis" and "several photographs showing [himself] having sex with other women." He was once confronted, the complaint says, by one of his children while watching pornography on the family television. But don't think any of this means Schelske is okay with so-called "alternative lifestyles": He once refused to let Evans' Dancing With the Stars costume designer enter their Los Angeles home because he was a "Sodomite."CRAIGPAC gave $1,800 to the Friends of George Allen in February, and another $1,000 in May. The Allen campaign did not respond to an inquiry as to whether it intends to return the donations. Other recipients of Schelske's largesse include Rep. Brian Bilbray, the California congressman who replaced disgraced Republican Randy "Duke" Cunningham earlier this year in a special election, Michele Bachmann, a Republican and self-professed "fool for Christ" running for an open seat in Minnesota, Rep. Chris Chocola of Indiana, and Rep. Thelma Drake of Virginia.
Is George Allen still running as a serious and viable candidate for US Senate? Or is he laughing at America and the Constitution?
Go here for some Wonkette snark...
But fairness and morality dictate he give the money to charity.
And one would hope he does better than he did with the Foley money. When I started looking at the group he gave it to, Eight Is Enough, I noticed that the Group's board and Ms. Rice's husband give lots to groups that give money to Allen.

Now, this may be a perfectly honest arrangement. (Note that the FEC, does not have current contributions listed yet). And I hope it is.
But I would suggest that next time Mr. Allen has to give money back that he gives it to a group that isn't filled with RFepublilcans. There are lots of truly independent groups, for example, that seek to prevent violence towards women.
First, we find out anti-gay Senator George Allen has a self-loathing gay Republican campaign manager named Dick Wadhams. His parents knew his last name would be Wadhams and they named their son Dick. That's f**ked up.
Then we see "Kinky Porn Loving Adulterers for Allen!"
One of Allen's wealthy and staunch supporters is a sick freak and..."executive director of American Destiny, which seeks to teach children about "the role of God and Christianity in America's story,""
What next? George Allen brings home a dead fetus for his small children to play with. No, no, that was Rick Santorum.
What is wrong with these freaks and how did we get here? How can people fall for these sock puppets of corporate America?
But fairness and morality dictate he give the money to charity.
And one would hope he does better than he did with the Foley money" -- PM
That's why I'm against the b......s giving back their ill-gotten gains to "charity"; it comes right back to them, while they wear their "pure" cloaks with pride. Give it to Social Security, why doncha? You say it's in such dire straights it won't survive another year unless raped and impregnated by market forces...
Does anyone have them?
