Daily Kos: Weekly Standard Goes Apeshit on George Allen!
Edited on Sun Sep-24-06 05:42 PM by tuvor


If you're a Republican politician, you really know things are getting bad when a leading conservative magazine attacks you, brutally mocks you, and otherwise rips you to shreds. Well, that's exactly what has happened to George Allen, with The Weekly Standard's just-released October 2 issue. It's bad news right from the git-go, with the front-page picture of Allen and a monkey (see above) and the article's title, "George Allen Monkeys Around: Forget the presidential campaign. Can he still win his Senate race?"

Ouch. That's bad. But it gets worse.

1. Holy Crap.
Even the Weakly Standard's on his back? I guess even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

6. Is the monkey named Dubya?
Allen has got one thing in his favor when The Weekly Standatrd attacks him: since it is a neoconservative publication, its facts cannot be trusted.
