So anyway, Claude Allen, one of the President's top domestic policy lackey's got nailed for trying to defraud various Target stores via a phoney returned merchandize scam of the sort perpetrated by Junior High School girls at the Burlington Mall.
Well why not?
Allen's laughably childish scams with alleged thefts reaching five thousand dollars is but a micro version of the omnipotent frauds and chicanery imposed by Halliburton, Enron and Kellog, Brown and Root every day. hell some five billion dollars in US Currency can't be accounted for in Iraq. Not to mention the treble charges Halliburton has submitted as the trucker of choice for the US Armed Forces in Kuwait-Iraq.
Given all this, why WOULDN'T Allen steal?
Hell his boss stole two presidential elections in a row, whats the theft of five grand from a few chintzy Target's stores to compare with that??
And another thing...ever notice that when one of these yaps gets caught they are always described as a "fast rising star in the conservative movement"?
My God just about any snake handler or patent medicine sharper who gets off the plane at Dulles can enter DC as a "A Fast Rising Star in the Conservative Movement". The bar must be set awfully low to qualify.
Hell, chump changes crooks like Claude Allen can make it easy.
Watch for it, Allen will cop the inevitable plea bargain and will be back on the street as Fox News Commentator by the time the fall elections roll around, his fast rising stardom battered but intact.
