Allen's last gasps

George Allen's defeat in Virginia won't be official until the last votes are recounted -- but win or lose, he has been beaten to a shell of his good ol' boy self.

    Re: "dip-snuffing"

    I have to correct a perceived error in this piece. Dip and snuff, while both tobacco products (and both arguably disgusting), are mutually exclusive products. Dip is dipped - you put it in your mouth. Snuff is snuffed - you snort it up your nose.

    If Allen was indeed "dip-snuffing," then he would have been snorting chewing tobacco up his nose. I'm generally willing to believe almost anything negative about Allen at this point, but I'm not prepared to accept that one...
