Sen. George Allen (R-Va) Has a Potty Mouth

Somebody needs to wash Mr. Allen's mouth out with soap.

Sen. George Allen (R-Va) and Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Ks) were chit-chatting about community block grants and this is what Mr. Allen said.

As Allen and Roberts were walking toward the Senate subway, our
informant heard Allen say, "I don't give a shit about Community
Development Block Grants. Virginia doesn't see any of that money."

And here's what the Carpetbagger has to say about it.

Not that it matters, but Allen is not only cruel with his disregard
for low-income communities, but he's wrong on the facts: Southwest
Virginia gets plenty of money from these block grants, including, in
the words of one local newspaper, resources to "refurbish homes, install
sewer and water systems, provide social services and lift whole
neighborhoods out of blight."

What's more, Allen's office seems to think this is funny.

In fact, Allen's press secretary, David Snepp dismissed this with an
apparent joke that the senators were talking about football, not Community Development Block Grants.

"What Sen. Allen actually said was that 'I don't give a Dip about immunity
for those who chop block Darnerien McCants. Virginia doesn't think that's
very funny,'" Snepp deadpanned.

So, not only does Mr. Allen have a potty mouth, but he and his press secretary are both mean, nasty, rude men. That doesn't sound like good family values to me. I'm telling mommy.
