More George Allen -- Greatest Misses
Watching Senator Allen on CNN this morning reminded me of two recent quotes (and a bonus third just found today) that I felt needed redistribution at a time like this. First, the Senator on Ben Bernanke to replace Alan Greenspan:
Senator George Allen of Virginia, who is considering a bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, said when asked his opinion of the Bernanke nomination."For what?"
Told that Mr. Bernanke was up for the Fed chairman's job, Mr. Allen hedged a little, said he had not been focused on it, and wondered aloud when the hearings would be. Told that the Senate Banking Committee hearings had concluded in November, the senator responded: "You mean I missed them all? I paid no attention to them."
The second is comes from candidate for re-election to the U.S. Senate in Virginia, George Allen:
George Allen makes little secret that he is bored with life in the Senate."I made more decisions in half a day as governor than you can make in a whole week in the Senate," Senator Allen said earlier this month as he dashed into a recent Republican fund-raiser in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Over eggs and hash browns with a Republican crowd in Davenport, he lamented about being in the Senate, "It's too slow for me."
And TODAY, the DSCC finds a nice little video clip of candidate for re-election to the U.S. Senate in Virginia, George Allen, publicly wishing he was born in Iowa. At this point, why even run for re-election to the U.S. Senate if you are George Allen? He has absolutely no interest in holding on to his seat, it bores him, and only his presidential ambitions seem to keep him motivated.
