what did Sen. Allen allegedly do to his first wife?

[npincus]

The law student who got his ass kicked by Allen's goon squad the other day was asking about this... I know it's salacious gossip, but today seems like a good day for salacious gossip-- with c*ck-sucking Republican gay-bashing preachers coming out of the closet and all.

Why are the divorce papers sealed?

1. Allen spit in his ex-wife's face. n/t

3. that's it?

Well, he's bashed Webb for being a macho sexist... so spitting in a woman's face is a form of intimidation, isn't it.

5. Yes, I'm looking for a news link. Anyone can help? n/t

7. not his wife- but here's an Allen spitting story (at a woman reporter):

I stepped near the governor and smiled, told him my name and that I wrote for the local newspaper. Then I asked him a softball question, what some reporters call a "set-up."

"Does Southwest Virginia need these jobs?" I asked.

He stopped and looked straight at me. He had to look down at me, because he stood so tall in those cowboy boots. I thought I spotted a twinkle in his eye, and for a moment, I suspected he might give a humorous, light-hearted answer. Then he leaned forward and looked all the way down at the pavement. I figured he was planning a perfectly crafted answer to my question. I put pen to paper, ready to take it down. His lips puckered as if he might speak.

Then, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia gathered up a glob of tobacco-laced saliva. He used his lips to squirt it out, as if he had practiced. The spit landed just at the tip of my shoe. He grinned, but didn't say a word. Then he walked into the building.

I never told my grandmother about the governor spitting at my shoe.

2. I heard he spit on her. At least, that's what the question sounded like to me.

Allen is a goon. I hope he gets the message from voters on Tuesday.

9. I stand corrected. Stark asked why Allen SPIT ON his ex-wife

That's bad enough. :(

10. My speculation

Allen thrashed his first wife pretty good on several occasions, and later threatened her with something more serious if the true story ever was made public.

11. Why indeed...

it's very unusual for divorces to be sealed, especially with no children involved.

[npincus]

12. something the Freedom of Information Act could force out?

HMMMMMMMMMM?
