- Batfishy, on 05/01/2009, -30/+133So he's being picked on for having an (R) next to his name? Persecution complexes are spreading.
- novenator, on 05/01/2009, -18/+117"Allred was stopped about 6 p.m. Monday for speeding on Interstate 40 between Burlington and Raleigh. He explained to the state trooper that he was on his way to the House of Representatives to vote...On Thursday, Allred denied in an interview any inappropriate or drunken behavior." From the piece. Looks like the GOP is getting caught with their pants down, yet again!
- clvngodess, on 05/01/2009, -3/+79The DWI or DUI is definitely an issue. However, I'm with another who stated reading the article for it's content regarding the page.
FTA:
Allred said that on Monday, he was overcome with pride to see a protégée. Allred said he hugged and kissed the cheek of the page, the daughter of his neighbors. He was her sponsor in the page program, which allows high-school students to spend a week at the legislature, helping lawmakers, taking attendance at committee meetings and learning about the legislative process.
The girl has known Allred all her life.
"She's like my granddaughter," Allred said.
The page, Michelle Mann, 17, lives across the street from Allred, said her mother, Crystal Mann. She talked to her daughter and is satisfied that the incident has been overblown. - Hetman, on 05/01/2009, -7/+70Family friend or not. Driving drunk, and being drunk at work are major problems. I had a friend who taught high school. You know 17 and 18 year olds. He recieved a DUI on a saturday night. His teaching licence was taken away and he can no longer work as a teacher in indiana. It this guy is hanging around 17 year olds drunk and driving he should have to quit or retire from his post.
- AgeofMastery, on 05/01/2009, -6/+62His getting a DWI on the way there and doing government business while drunk is "nothing"?
- Insightful, on 05/01/2009, -5/+53I am betting Senator Craig is thinking: "Damn, why didn't I just pretend to be drunk when I was soliciting for anonymous gay sex in airport bathroom stall!"
- Echota, on 05/01/2009, -10/+40No sock's,wears a cowboy hat,fears smoking speakeasies..................................and the nut leaves his dogs....in the car........all day!
I bet he's for torture to! - smacksaw, on 05/02/2009, -4/+33At least Clinton made sure the girl was legal. That's somewhat personal responsibility.
- woodsjransom, on 05/01/2009, -12/+38Aw shucks now, got a good ole boy caught up in some naughty no-no like behavior. The old sly dog. This ain't going away and I shall wait.
- sulthernao, on 05/02/2009, -5/+29"Impeached for cheating on his wife"
Well since you so eloquently put it this way, doesn't that just prove that Republicans have never read the Constitution? Since when was marital infidelity an impeachable offense? - billricardi, on 05/02/2009, -2/+25I love how the article mixes a real issues (tipsy on the road and in Congress) with a totally BS issue (kissing a page on the cheek, who is like a daughter to him).
Instead of focusing on the real wrongdoing, they have to hold up big blinking signs that say: 'I'm Attacking This Guy Now!!'. If they had just pressed the issue on his drinking, they might have won me over. But the attempt to drag irrelevant crap into the issue has earned, from me, the finger. And the bury. - BCPneumatics, on 05/02/2009, -7/+29"impeached for cheating on his wife"
Wow. - homercles337, on 05/01/2009, -5/+27Now thats what i call politicking!
- inactive, on 05/01/2009, -1/+22"tired and emotional" is the phrase often used for people here in the UK who've had one too many....
- inactive, on 05/01/2009, -3/+23And Craig just has a "wide stance".
- inactive, on 05/01/2009, -12/+31And..another one down...and another one down...Another one Bites the dust...Heh he
- novenator, on 05/01/2009, -4/+23*CORRECTION: Title should read FEmale page. I mistyped it in my haste and exhaustion. Apologies for the mistake.
- DougChristian, on 05/02/2009, -2/+21If he's evangelical then he's definitely for torture. They, like most fundamentalists, love torturing infidels. It makes God happy.

But, to be even more precise, the headline said he was kissing a MALE page, when, in fact, not only was it a female page, it turned out to be a long-time friend of his and even her MOTHER said there was nothing to it.
BS article with misleading headline. FAIL
I like to see Repubs nailed for the anti-Americans they are, but on legitimate grounds, not BS. - SirCharge, on 05/02/2009, -2/+19He didn't get a DWI, either. Article says it was speeding and the cop let him go. I suspect that half of the members of congress have gotten out of a speeding ticket by flashing their IDs. I have no doubt he's an eccentric fellow, but there's no story here.
- choppa1890, on 05/02/2009, -1/+16read the article.
- choppa1890, on 05/02/2009, -10/+25at least democrats don't false advertise. Or at least they are accused of having no values!
- inactive, on 05/02/2009, -10/+24Buried for inaccuracy. Male Republicans don't kiss girls.
- skunks, on 05/02/2009, -3/+17You stay classy, N.C. congressional delegation.
- novenator, on 05/01/2009, -7/+20*CORRECTION: Title should read FEmale page. I mistyped it in my haste and exhaustion. Apologies for the mistake.
- novenator, on 05/02/2009, -3/+15I emailed Digg and they corrected the title for me. Thanks.
- bjornski, on 05/02/2009, -5/+17@dubducky
It's not a new thing for them.

Republican sex-criminal? I wish I could say I was shocked.
Party of "family values". Yeah. - BicBall, on 05/02/2009, -2/+14at least it was a girl
- inactive, on 05/01/2009, -10/+21i hope they throw the f#cking book up his @SS
- novenator, on 05/02/2009, -6/+17I emailed Digg and they corrected the title for me. Eco, might give a new meaning to my motto 'lover of man'
- inactive, on 05/01/2009, -1/+12Lame excuses is the point!
- lateralus, on 05/02/2009, -5/+15The only thing shocking in this that it was a female page. The GOP are usually sword fighting dudes.
- Firstdaughter, on 05/01/2009, -8/+18Ummm Holo he'd prolly like that too much... ;)
- eco57, on 05/02/2009, -4/+14I completely agree with you regarding the page incident, but I consider the alcohol coupled with speeding component (with no citation or breathalizer) a major problem. Does he have to lose control of his vehicle and kill someone before others might agree? That's how I lost a close cousin.
- fivefootfour, on 05/02/2009, -1/+11I love it: correct the mistake, apologize for it twice, you'll still find an ***** to bitch about it.
- blacklist, on 05/02/2009, -13/+23Thank god you guys always digg this stuff, all the times this made it to the front page is amazing:
Portland Mayor Sam Adams on Monday said he had lied in the past about having sexual relations with an 18-year-old, who looked to him as a role model.
Of course he wasn't 18 when the mayor was screwing him.....what this was never on the front page of digg?
How could you have missed that...oh he was a Democrat.
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2009/ ... - novenator, on 05/02/2009, -7/+17Larry Craig ring a bell?
- MicrosoftBob, on 05/02/2009, -3/+13Remember, "it's just a piece of paper."
- MicrosoftBob, on 05/02/2009, -2/+12I'll agree to the obfuscation. Clinton is a politician through-and-through.
But the sheer hubris of the Bush administration and the utter contempt that Cheney et al had for the American judicial and foreign policy system FAR outweighs (in both a pragmatic and legal sense) anything Clinton had done.
I'm amazed that some Americans still defend the past administration when the writing on the the wall is so goddamn huge. - bjornski, on 05/02/2009, -0/+9@novenator
The rest of his drink. - m0n0kr0m3, on 05/02/2009, -0/+9Read my lips......
\V/Family Values\V/ - novenator, on 05/01/2009, -4/+13*CORRECTION: Title should read FEmale page. I mistyped it in my haste and exhaustion. Apologies for the mistake.
- inactive, on 05/02/2009, -7/+16This is such a non-issue and lame article. If you're going to learn anything from the collapse of the GOP, it should be that most people don't like the over politicization of non-issues on partisan grounds. Where is the story here? Oh, he gave a page a hug and allegedly smelled like alcohol! oh god, he's a MANIAC!
But be my guest, act like the right wing trolls and drag everyone who disagrees with you through the mud with character attacks. It helps your position look sooo much better.
As far as I'm concerned Novenator is about as credible as supercandy or any other partisan hack. - blackinthmiddle, on 05/02/2009, -0/+9To be honest with you, I thought the same thing. I figured, ok, a little inappropriate but nothing newsworthy. That was, until I read
"Allred said he is the subject of a "witch hunt" because he frequently challenges Hackney.
"I think it's an effort to embarrass me because I am a conservative Republican from Alamance County, and he's a liberal Democrat from Chapel Hill," Allred said."
While I'm indifferent to this story, it's that kind of attitude where no matter what these ***** do wrong they can turn it into a dem bashing jizz-fest that pisses me off. Whatever heat he gets for this is well deserved. - novenator, on 05/02/2009, -4/+13bait and switch from an incident over 40 years ago. yawn.
- choppa1890, on 05/02/2009, -1/+10you fail at reading the article!
- biotch, on 05/02/2009, -2/+11Novenator's credibility has nothing to do with this. He just provided a link to a story from another site. Its not a report from Novenator.
- inactive, on 05/01/2009, -14/+23This is absolutely normal behavior people. She is probably his niece for Christ Sake! They are set to be wed next week
