Felix (Allen) is a pathetic little creep.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/9/5/18123/86371

" U.S. Senator George Allen today stole a Department of Defense appropriations amendment written, printed and prepared by Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill), and then announced the amendment as his own, moments before Durbin was prepared to introduce the amendment on the Senate floor.

Apparently, coming up with his own amendments would be "hard work" and require "effort" and "thinking". Much better to steal stuff from the opposition."

He really makes my skin crawl.

1. oh, that is just so precious.
I really like Durbin. He's a gentleman, a thinker and a plodder (in the sense that he never quits, and he works hard and long hours).
Illinois is lucky to have him. Allen is your typical POS thief and liar.

2. What amazed me was........
the wording was exactly like Durbin`s. Very strange. Kennedy said there was a one word difference. NSA, at it`s finest????????????

6. Ahm, i know this is in poor taste and all
but there was something really surreal about watching George Allen on the floor of the Senate talking about people with brain damage. I completely agree that we need to put money into the TBI program for our vets, but there is something really weird about having Allen front this. Ahm, really creepy.
