Mary Matalin Joins Team Allen

Sen. George Allen (R-Va.) has signed Mary Matalin to serve as treasurer of a committee designed to raise money for his 2006 reelection race and Virginia's Republican Party.

3. She is going to spread some of her Dick Cheney magic over to Allen?

6. Well, I'm not sure the move's going to help either one of them.

I'm strongly biased in favor of Ms. Matalin's husband's party, so that's part of it.

The other part is that I think Allen is dumber than a bag of hammers.

Or does he just act like that on tv?

Does anybody know if that guy has any brains at all?
