Stephen Colbert Just said George Allen is dumb as a post

[Hippo_Tron]

Of course, that's a good thing...

[Pirate Smile]

1. because Colbert is anti-intellectual.

That was great.

[liberalpragmatist]

How is James Webb?

I can't catch the show today unfortunately.

[Hippo_Tron]

4. He did very well

I'm not sure if he will be able to beat Allen simply because of fundraising but he will definately give him a run for his money.

8. Did he mention

that he supported Allen in 2000 for Senator and donated to his campaign ?

[GRLMGC]

9. That's pretty gross

what other Dems are challenging him the primary? Or have you already had the primary?

[SteelBird]

11. havent yet, should be coming up

We got this other guy Miller who I mentioned, hes a little conservative on the social issues but i like a guy who got his start in politics by working for RFK.

[SteelBird]

10. did he?

there a link on that site newsmeat or wheatever it is, Ive been more inclined to Miller thus far but I admit I am mostly ignorant of their stances on the issues.

[fedupinBushcountry]

13. Yes I checked Newsmeat

and I also heard he supported Allen for Governor.

Claudia Kennedy endorsed Miller today.

Here is one reason why:

She was referring to comments Webb made and articles he wrote in the 1970s and 1980s. One of them was a 1979 article in The Washingtonian magazine titled "Women Can't Fight."

"There is a place for women in our military, but not in combat," Webb wrote in the magazine article.

He also wrote that by admitting them to West Point, the Air Force Academy and the Naval Academy "in the name of equality, this country has sterilized the whole process of combat leadership training, and our military forces are doomed to suffer the consequences."

14. Well I was gonna vote for Miller anyhow because I liked him more

but I think I am now in the strong pro miller column.

[GRLMGC]

15. What did he have against Robb? nt

[Hippo_Tron]

17. No, but I was well aware of that

I'm not defending his past actions. I'm just saying that he did a good job on the show and could do well against Allen.

[Captain Hilts]

2. There's a constituency for that. nt

3. I don't know, are posts really that dumb?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

5. When they're mine.

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. now your going mesna test on me!

[freethought]

6. Not really "new" news

George Allen is a typical Republican airhead. The only he can do is talk football. I guess his father was a pro football or college football coach.
How does that qualify his son to be a U.S. Senator? How the hell should I know? We have an intellectual nitwit for a president, go figure.

There had been some speculation that he might be the heir-apparent to Un-curious George. He has that folksy image and he can talk football and sports really well. Hell, George Jr. can even finish a complete sentence!

I still think things will be set up for Jeb to take the throne but that's only speculation on my part and not really based on any hard facts.

[Hippo_Tron]

16. The thing is that Colbert always pretends to be a Republican on his show

This is the first time he's thrown out such a blantant insult at a Republican. He of course followed it by saying sarcastically that "That's good though, because I hate intellectuals" but it was still fucking hillarious.

[Dr Fate]

12. I think Allen's toupee keeps oxygen from getting to his brain. n/t

18. Is it really necessary to gratuitously insult posts ?

[Hippo_Tron]

19. You are correct

If I were a post I would be offended.
