Democrats suggest new job for Sen. George Allen

I'm sure we can probably suggest a few other different jobs for Allen.

WASHINGTON (AP) — For Republican Sen. George Allen, who recently complained that the Senate moves too slowly, Democrats say they have the perfect job: National Football League commissioner.

In an interview that appeared in Sunday’s New York Times, the first-term Virginia lawmaker and potential 2008 presidential candidate said, “I made more decisions in half a day as governor than you can make in a whole week in the Senate. It’s too slow for me.”

That prompted the Democrats to recommend that NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who is retiring this summer, consider Allen as a possible successor. Allen is the son of the late NFL Hall of Famer George Allen, who coached the Los Angeles Rams and the Washington Redskins.

“We hate to see a good Senate seat filled by someone who is so bored by his job that he doesn’t even like to spend time in the state he is supposed to represent, let alone vote in a way that serves his state’s interests,” said J.D. Poersch, executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

3. Seriously, what are his qualifications?

Please don't say that being the son of a former NFL coach (and a damn good one, at that) makes him qualified. Being the son of a former President doesn't make the Frat Boy qualified to hold office.

5. He's more qualified for that than for the Senate | nt

I'll bet he's tried it.
