This is going to affect other Virginia races. Are there any of the House targets in play out there?
Hey wait...... ain't that a democrat resume enhancer?
But...but...but...but...FOLEY!
Here in California, if a candidate wrote that he'd get an instant 15 point surge in the polls.
hehehehehehe
Scandal Rocks Allen Campaign
Republican Senator George Allens campaign for reelection was dealt what many in the media are calling a death blow when a former classmate came forward to reveal sordid details from Allens past.
In a new television ad paid for by the Webb for Senate campaign, Albie Wyner, a pre-school classmate of Allens at the Mary Moppet Day School of Fairfax Virginia revealed that during a particularly tense playground confrontation in 1955, Allen called him an inappropriate name. I remember we were playing tag, Wyner said. Georgie tagged me and said I was it. I didnt want to be it. So, I slapped him. He called me a pooh-pooh head. I started to cry. I was so humiliated. I told the teacher, but she was a Republican and wouldnt do anything. George Allen ruined my life. Dont let him ruin yours. Vote for James Webb for U.S. Senate.
Reached for comment, Allen said he did not recall the incident. I was in pre-school 50 years ago, said Allen. I dont remember who was in my class, much less what may have happened on any given day.
Webb characterized Allens memory lapse as awfully convenient. A man who forgets so easily isnt someone the voters should trust to be their senator, Webb said. The indifference to suffering demonstrated by this incident is indicative of the heartless nature of the Republicans when it comes to human rights. I only hope that the message gets through to enough Virginia voters in time.

That being said, how would the public react to an actor acting out this scene in a movie? "It's only a movie"...right?
Unconscienable that a man who wants to be seriously considered for Senate could have written this. Appalling.

gross.
This my friends ......Sounds like Nambla.
Besides, we have only to look at what happened to Mark Fuhrman for the template of what should happen here.
Remember how Fuhrman used the 'n' word in his taped manuscript for a police novel ? He said he'd used that word simply because he was writing a realistic novel --and that was the way real police talked, like it or not.
But that didn't matter. The media convicted Fuhrman of 'racism.'
Along the same lines, the media will now have to convict Webb of pedophilia, if they're to be consistent (which of course they aren't).
Weren't both Bill and Hillary Clinton recently in Virginia campaigning for Webb? Someone should get their reaction!!
What was that Nancy Pelosi said about draining a GOP swamp? She might have her hands full with the Democratic Swamp.
I'm glad the Allen campaign revealed this. That a twisted creep who would write such a thing is running to represent Virginians in the U.S. Senate, and none in the media ever mentioned it, is a travesty. Virginians needed to know that Webb is a creep, a nasty nasty creep.
So, what's the big deal? Seems to me that this could happen to just about anybody.
If Webb doesn't win, maybe Nancy Pelosi will name him the poet laureate of the House.
