I came a bit late to the "Let's call out this racist on his transparent attempt to pander and repair damage done to his image" party, but there's still a few shots to take at George Felix Allen. Trying to move past Macaca-Gate in typical Republican fashion – dirty campaigning for those of you scoring at home – Allen's website has posted a series of press releases that try to paint his opponent in what they think is a negative light. Here is an example:
ARLINGTON, VA – Hollywood movie producer and fiction novelist James H. Webb, Jr. has rejected the request of former First Lady Nancy Reagan to withdraw a television ad that implies the late President Ronald Reagan is endorsing Webb.
"The same campaign that described President Reagan as a 'pompous, arrogant fool' has now dismissively treated the late president's widow with unbelievable disrespect," said Dick Wadhams, campaign manager for U.S. Senator George Allen. "Former First Lady Nancy Reagan deserves much better than the public rejection from James H. Webb, Jr."
Hollywood movie producer and novelist Webb announced he would begin airing on Monday, September 11—the fifth anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks…
Apparently, Allen thinks that it is better to be a Confederate flag-toting, Martin Luther King Day-opposing, name-calling bully than it is to be either: a) from California; or b) literate.
Here's the thing – Allen, as well as the dead president he's supporting, ARE FROM FUCKING CALIFORNIA (Webb was born in Missouri ). Oh yeah, and despite the connotations attached to his ten gallon hat, oversized belt buckle and ridiculous cowboy boots/business suit ensemble, word has it that he can, in fact, read some too.
