FOTFLOL!
as I'm sure was the intention, it will be hard to get rid of the stigma of the allegation.
What a dirtbag.
Thanks and a tip o' the hat to McLame, Feingold for getting the CFR bill passed, thus allowing the media to do hit pieces on whom ever they don't like, and giving the victim no arena for rebuttal.
Why would any CREDIBLE commentator rely on "gossip" as a story in the first place?
Answer: they wouldn't.
This is the trend of the liberal media though: present as "unconfirmed facts" anything you want to make up out of thin air.
No it won't, if we work hard enough and expose it all as lies and a hit job. This is pretty close to Rathergate in terms of "reputable" people just making stuff up because their hatred of Republicans got the better of them. If we can take down Dan Rather, we sure as hell ought to be able to take down this pipsqueak Larry Sabato.
What did Levin say?
Good catch, twigs.
Good point. Too bad we can't get the MSM to carry anything remotley vindicating to the GOP or this Administration.
Let me guess: Allen was one of the "in crowd" and Sabato wasn't.
Thank you for getting the facts straight for me. I was a student there at the time. I was thinking Sabato was class president, but he was student council president. It all comes back. And I thought he graduated earlier than that. So we overlapped more than just one year. Sabato was well known at the time; I never heard of Allen then. But I'm very glad to say that I have heard of Allen now. And would mightily like the opportunity of voting for him for president.
I'm not sure that's true, but it could be. I was't in the "in" crowd either, so I wasn't hobnobbing with them. And there was an "in" crowd there. Had a lot to do with family background. I was a poor girl from a blue-collar family who had to work her way through. I didn't know many like me there and for some, those things made a difference. I had one teacher gasp when I told him my father was a member of a labor union; he hadn't met any other student who could say that. And with an Italian name, I assume--without knowing, of course--that Sabato was not of the Virginia elite. He was, however, well known on campus and apparently, was well known on his own merits. I never heard of Allen until he ran for governor. I was a youth leader at a rural church where his wife was a member after I left Charlottesville. I know that she was highly respected among people I liked and respected.
So, maybe he did come from a known family and Sabato pulled himself up by his bootstraps. I don't know. But Allen has accomplished a lot more--silver spoon and all, if indeed there ever was a silver spoon there.
A few years back I had some respect for Sabato but he sure has changed. You have to wonder what kind of epiphany these former conservatives have had. Is it just the fact that they get much more TV time if they are moderate/liberals? How shallow can that be? All this says to me is that the Rats are really desperate. They see they have a very good chance of losing NJ and they are grasping at any Republican Senate seat they can find. These are sick sick people with a deranged psychotic need to control the government and all peoples' lives.
Larry Sabato lost ALL my respect. He SHOULD have said "I've been told"...not "He DID"...as he wasn't there!!!
"MSNBC should be sued, as should Matthews."
MSNBC has turned into the MoveOn.org of cable television!
If you didn't hear Allen, keep your yap shut! Simple as that Larry. Geez, and you call yourself a professor? My God Larry. Stupe!
If he had kept his pie-hole shut either way, he wouldn't be in this conundrum he finds himself in.
I betcha Larry predicted he would be asked that one question.
I noticed that too. That wig he used to wear looked like it was 30 years old. Made him look like Larry from the Three Stooges.
