MAJOR SENATE RACE SHAKEUP
George Allen steps in it. Video coming soon.
What George Allen just did, sent a chill down my spine. Video coming....
Developing...
UPDATE: I'm verifying with sources deep inside the Allen campaign. This may be the end of any Allen for President campaign.
UPDATE #2- I'll explain the delay shortly. I'm as annoyed as the rest of you.
UPDATE #3- Here's the full story. Video up later (it's property of the Webb campaign, so they are the hold up on the actual video).
Jim Webb hired a tracker to go around and videotape George Allen at all public events ike all campaigns do.
The tracker's parents are from India, but he was born and raised here. He is an American citizen.
His name is Saddarth.
But since he looks brown, George Allen decided to make some comments during a speech at the Breaks.
The exchange went something like this....
"The Webb campaign has sent that young man Mukakkah in the back. Let's give Mukakkah a round of applause and welcome him to America".
Welcome an American citizen to America? Because he is brown? And what in the world does Mukakkah mean?
Here's a hint on what Allen was trying to say.
UPDATE #4- This is getting bigger and bigger. Republicans are starting to distance themselves from Allen. Smart move.
UPDATE #5- WaPo has a story.
Live boy or dead girl?

It's only two toupees: wake me up when it gets to four.

Ben,
You used to break some newsworthy stuff. But now almost all your alerts are fluff.
Please. spare us.

How major is this shakeup?
Posted by: | August 13, 2006 at 05:33 PM
OK...so it has something to do with Cantor? Or Shaun Kenney? Or does the toupee icon always link to Perseverando?

Anon 5:30 - agreed.
I bet NLS will be reporting that Dick Saslaw also goes to Alexandria Bubbles.

Only two toupees?
Posted by: | August 13, 2006 at 06:28 PM
Come on... what's the action!? I NEED to know now NLS. I NEED my fix.
Whats the news. Did someone get fired?
Posted by: WhoCares | August 13, 2006 at 06:52 PM
I vote dead boy.

Jim Webb and George Allen got into a fistfight because they were double-booked at Bubbles.

Anyone think NLS just says this to stir stuff up and make a non issue an issue?
Posted by: BDM | August 13, 2006 at 08:08 PM
Ben's a bit lonely today probably.
Posted by: Greg Bouchillon | August 13, 2006 at 08:16 PM
Yes. NLS, like zogby, was discredited years ago.
Posted by: WhoCares | August 13, 2006 at 08:16 PM
"Yes. NLS, like zogby, was discredited years ago."
The key difference between Ben and Zogby is that Zogby actually once HAD credibility.

Interesting how fast Ben says George Allen did somethng bad after he announces he is paid by the Webb campaign to advertise Jim Webb. Anyone think Ben is just trying to get more money?
Posted by: BDM | August 13, 2006 at 08:41 PM
Okay, four toupees, I'm awake.
Posted by: J.C. Wilmore | August 13, 2006 at 08:45 PM
NLS bashing George Allen is about as surprising as Rush Limbaugh bashing Hillary Clinton.

How much longer?!
Posted by: | August 13, 2006 at 09:40 PM
Yea how much longer till we have to hear your lies?
Posted by: | August 13, 2006 at 09:48 PM
One thing I learned in my career is that video doesn't lie. Ask my good friend, the male prostitute Jeff Gannon/Jim Guckert.
Posted by: NotDickWadhams | August 13, 2006 at 09:52 PM
What, did Allen buy more stock in that abortion company, Barr?
Posted by: Abortion=Murder | August 13, 2006 at 09:54 PM
No my friends, it's much bigger, and I believe Ben may have video.
I can't wait to see.
Posted by: J.C. Wilmore | August 13, 2006 at 10:04 PM
What'd I do now? :)
A four toupee alert... not bad. Is this like a code yellow terrorism alert?
Posted by: Shaun Kenney | August 13, 2006 at 10:12 PM
Okay. So he's got video. And it doesn't show Allen in a very good light? Is that the deal, JC?
Posted by: DemTilDeath | August 13, 2006 at 10:13 PM
Apparently . . . I'm in the same boat as the rest of you, waiting to see what the deal is.
