Yesterday evening, George Allen held an online townhall meeting via
Facebook. At the peak of the event, only 35 people were watching, many
of whom were probably Felix Macacawitz's political staffers, and by
the end there a lot fewer. So, it's fair to say that almost nobody was
watching as Allen, who thought the camera was turned off, complained
about how "uh, god, torturous" the experience of speaking to voters
was. Allen also jokes about "reindeers" and "elves in the servers,"
sarcastically says "let's do this tomorrow!," comments about the
"great spontaneity" ("TAKE THREE!"), and asks "what do you reckon it
was for me?" in response to a comment about how "nervewracking" the
experience was.
So George, if it's so painful for you to speak to Virginia voters, if
you hate campaigning so much (just like you hated being in the U.S.
Senate), why on earth are you running? It's not like anybody's forcing
you to do this, right? If you want to just drop out now, and go back
to full-time shilling (for boatloads of cash) for the dirty energy
industry, that's fine with us. Just a friendly suggestion. :)
