The Next "Gay" Senator
George Allen? Gay? No, but expect to hear that and much more
Virginia Senator George Allen is an emerging skeptic of the Bush administration and is increasingly looking like he will follow the moderate/maveric model of John McCain. WHy? He has higher ambitions, likely a presidential run. He's no slouch either, he's conservative with just a dash of libertarianism thrown in, no moderate is he. So, when someone who is so firmly in the Republican camp starts to ask questions guess what happens? The oldest trick in the book- attack the messenger. In years past we've seen Bush/Rove go after McCain accusing him of everything from betraying our troops in Vietnam to being a homosexual, and of course we saw what they did to John Kerry too. So look out George, it's going to be a long four years.
