Finally

Like me, I’m sure you’ve been wondering why in the world we haven’t heard from this fellow in the health care debate:

Former Sen. and Gov. George Allen doesn’t see much to like in the proposed health-care overhaul, even without a Medicare buy-in provision.

“Why in the heck should we spend another trillion dollars that we don’t have on this government run health-care experiment?” Allen asked today in a conference call with reporters.

Can you believe that nobody’s asked his opinion before now? My god. Thank God, he’s planning a political comeback.

If there’s one thing guys like Alan really hate about the idea of health care reform it’s that it might benefit some in the macaca community. Can’t have that.

Speaking of which, you almost have to admire the fact that the right wing press still has absolutely no scruples about being racist asses:

Democratic video producer S.R. Sidarth, the target of former Virginia Republican Sen. George Allen’s “Macaca” attack during his 2006 campaign, was spotted Monday night on “Jeopardy!” There was no mention of Sidarth’s YouTube fame through the video that cost Allen his campaign by framing him as a racist, but Alex Trebek did describe Sidarth as a law student and shared an anecdote about his pilgrimage to Tibet.

Yeah, it “framed” him. The guy who had a noose and a confederate flag in his office.
