2. Those will be a footnote, compared to what the ...

... public integrity investigations into his corrupt business dealings are about to yield.

The "John Warner Backpedals Show" alone is going to be worth a stick of butter, once the George Allen investigations break.

In the meantime, the YouTube offering featuring several young men, and 'Wayne's little brother' was amusing.

39. George supposedly spat on his wife

He seems to have a problem with spitting on people:


2008 presidential contender "once spit on his wife" - George Allen asked to release his divorce records to confirm if it was him
http://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/10/2008-presidential-contender-once-spit.html

also:

I stepped near the governor and smiled, told him my name and that I wrote for the local newspaper. Then I asked him a softball question, what some reporters call a "set-up."

"Does Southwest Virginia need these jobs?" I asked.

He stopped and looked straight at me. He had to look down at me, because he stood so tall in those cowboy boots. I thought I spotted a twinkle in his eye, and for a moment, I suspected he might give a humorous, light-hearted answer. Then he leaned forward and looked all the way down at the pavement. I figured he was planning a perfectly crafted answer to my question. I put pen to paper, ready to take it down. His lips puckered as if he might speak.

Then, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia gathered up a glob of tobacco-laced saliva. He used his lips to squirt it out, as if he had practiced. The spit landed just at the tip of my shoe. He grinned, but didn't say a word. Then he walked into the building.

Sen. Allen's Shameless Stock Fraud
Trey Ellis


So far the AP has only reported that Senator Allen has failed to tell Congress about his stock options in Xybernaut, a now bankrupt company that tried to make wearable computers. What the AP hasn't yet reported is that Xybernaut, where Senator Allen was on the board of directors, was an obvious stock fraud run by a notorious rogues gallery. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=19326284

According to the Washington Post last year, "Criminal charges have been filed in New York against three men accused of defrauding investors out of $16.8 million in the sale of Xybernaut stock. The chief target of the 64-count federal indictment is John Marciano, a former Long Island stockbroker who was the chief executive of the brokerage firm that managed Xybernaut's initial public offering in 1996."
And he is hardly the only crook involved. Dr. Joseph D. Ben-Dak, Xybernaut's chief scientist was involved with another famous fraud, Turbodyne, and was even caught affixing fake U.N. seals on reports.

Someone needs to ask the Senator some tough questions about the company he keeps. How much did he know about these cheats, and when did he know it.

17. She Should Look into Allen's Halliburton Campaign $$$

Cross reference the directors and executive officers of Halliburton, listed in each Form 10-K (annual report): http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?type=10-k&dateb=&owner=include&count=40&action=getcompany&CIK=hal

With those individuals' campaign contributions, listed on the FEC website: http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/norindsea.shtml

32. yep

They're good friends alright.

And I especially like this KBR fed contract:

The Halliburton subsidiary KBR (formerly Brown and Root) announced on Jan. 24 that it had been awarded a $385 million contingency contract by the Department of Homeland Security to build detention camps. Two weeks later, on Feb. 6, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced that the Fiscal Year 2007 federal budget would allocate over $400 million to add 6,700 additional detention beds (an increase of 32 percent over 2006). This $400 million allocation is more than a four-fold increase over the FY 2006 budget, which provided only $90 million for the same purpose
