The most prominent Republican official to show up at Tubby Falwell’s funeral was the Virginia attorney general — because not even God ‘n Country GOPers want to be associated with somebody as toxic as Revered Jerry, even when he’s dead. There’s a general election coming up in 2008, after all! MORE »

If you take a cop’s parking space in Washington, he will leave a neatly typed note on your windshield blaming the liberals in Congress and wishing you would behave like the nice white heterosexual George Allen supporters in Virginia. And then he has your car towed. And planted with drugs.

Thanks to tipster “JSJ” for scanning the note.

These sightings always bring more questions than answers. Is Tom Vilsack so hard up for publicity that he’ll sit in a window scarfing burgers to get noticed? What makes George Allen think he’s still a member of Congress? Is James Carville sane? Does Donald Rumsfeld need a lawyer for all the reasons we think he does? If Ted Kennedy can get his dog to follow his commands, how come no one else does? Is Chris Matthews sane? Has Norah O’Donnell been watching too much Godfather II? Did Tucker Carlson rub one out to Miss America after their lunch? Keep reading to see what’s making us wonder about this stuff, plus a former congressman who travels with the kind of luggage you don’t carry if you want to get your gayness fixed.

The entire Capitol and all the offices are filled with losers needing to clean out their junk, but still hanging out and refusing to leave. Two of those losers are departing Senators Jim Talent and George Allen. How are they coping with life in the private sector? Not particularly well, as two tipsters informed us this afternoon.

First, Senator Talent — a smart man, if a somewhat conspicuous one:

There is a huge tower of boxes in the hallway of the 4th floor of the Russell Senate Office Building labeled “Senator Talent’s Office. Please Shred”.

We like the directness. Anyone manage to snag a picture?

After the jump, a brief George Allen story that will warm the macacockles of your heart.
