A LIBERAL DOSE

George Allen's Sister Recalls His Beatings


Republican George Allen's sister has published a cringeworthy biography entitled "Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter" (available at Amazon.com here).

Among some of the more revealing excerpts relating Allen's characteristic "compassionate conservatism", we find:

"Ever since my brother George held me over the railing at Niagara Falls, I've had a fear of heights." [Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter, page 43]

"We all obeyed George. If we didn't, we knew he would kill us. Once, when Bruce refused to go to bed, George hurled him through a sliding glass door. Another time, when Gregory refused to go to bed, George tackled him and broke his collarbone. Another time, when I refused to go to bed, George dragged me up the stairs by my hair." [Fifth Quarter: The Scrimmage of a Football Coach's Daughter, page 22]

Should this man REALLY be allowed to hold office in Congress?

Yikes.

If this gets a head of steam, this could be the deathblow for Allens campaign. Talk about a nutty race. This one is going to go down as one of the weirdest.

I remember hearing something about this in the other thread about Webb.. A little roughhousing is probably normal for brothers and sisters, but..

..tossing someone through a sliding glass door?
..thinking he'd kill you?
..holding them over the rails at Niagra Falls? Was it a joke?
