--At 2:30 PM this afternoon the U.S. Senate began debate of the Department of Defense appropriations for FY 2007.
--Already on the docket was Senator Dick Durbin, who was scheduled to introduce an amendment to the bill providing $19 million in additional funding for the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center program, which provides treatment care and research for veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries. That meant that Durbin’s amendment had already been written, printed and prepared for introduction by Durbin.
--Yet, before Durbin could take the floor to introduce his amendment, George Allen entered the Senate Chamber and asked for permission to speak before Durbin. When permission was granted ahead of Durbin, lo and behold, Allen introduced an amendment to the DOD appropriations bill that, how could this be, was identical in language to Durbin’s bill with the exception of one word – the word “will” was changed in Allen’s amendment and replaced with the word “shall.” Other than that, the amendments were identical – Durbin’s amendment had been printed and set to be formally introduced, Allen’s bill had not been written or been placed on the docket to be introduced.

I was gonna submit this.

What kind of tool does this? He could have be a co-sponsor, or anything. They are such bullies, they think they can get away with it. Two cases, he thinks it is going to pass and wants to be able to use it for his re-election. Or he is trying to poison the amendment. Poor Virginia voters. You know he is the heir apparent to the GOP 2008 nomination for prez.

I thought this was going to be a constitutional amendment; still amusing. What a freak.

Hey does Video Sift have the video where Ted Stevens says he is against amending the alaska construction bill? Remember it was the one where he scream like a lunatic?

A note of history about George Allen, he was the Governor of Virginia who repeatedly expressed his support for the Confederate flag flying over the capital building.

... so not only is he an asshole and a theif, he's a nut.

... as a side note, any Dems should hoping to God this guy is the Republican nominee, ... because he will lose.
