George Allen On The Radio

137 words

Oh… I heard George Allen briefly on the radio this morning (you can find the interview at WRVA’s site, if you have the slightest interest in anything a politician has to say). I don’t remember much of anything he said during the interview, except something about trying to be a father figure for one of his neighbor’s kids who had lost his father in the Pentagon attack on 9/11 (gag), but I explicitly remember the way he ended the interview:

Jimmy Barrett: Thank you for talking with us, Senator Allen. [Or something like that.]

George Allen: Stay Strong For Freedom, Jimmy.

He sounded so sincere and dorky that I couldn’t help but laugh at the completely faux, over-the-top patriotism. I’m surprised he didn’t have a tape recorder playing the national anthem in the background while he talked.
