Awesome smackdown on Felix Allen by little boy....

Felix not feeling the love at unorchestrated campaign stop. I'm surprised his white sheets didn't body tackle him and throw him to the ground. :eyes:

He shed his blazer and necktie. He gripped a football, in case incoming spectators wanted him to throw passes their way. Not many people stopped. It was a reminder of just how seldom prominent officeholders intrigue the public. In most cases, Simon Cowell would do better.

A stocky man walked by, trailed by a little boy carrying a miniature ball with a Redskins logo on it.

"That's a good Redskins football," Allen said to the kid.

"I don't like the Redskins," said the boy. That was the problem with a public event like a football game -- a non-campaign event. Nothing was controlled. Supporters did not necessarily predominate. There might be a weird moment. On the other hand, a candidate had a chance to win over undecideds.

:rofl:

1. Cute story!

Bad link, though :(

2. Edited to fix the link...

If you're interested in the Felix Macacahead campaign at all, take the time to read it, it's VERY interesting. It confirms that Felix never made it much beyond Jr. High maturity wise.

3. racially or ethnically "insensitive"?!

"Insensitive" is not understanding things like racial bias on standardized testing.

Calling someone an ethnic slur is just plain old ugly racism.
