His eulogy to Hunter S. Thompson appeared in the NY Times, here.. digby 3/11/2006 11:05:00 AM Poster Boyby digbyFavorite Claude Allen Katrina Quote:"Just the mere fact you have pictures of the president on TV embracing grieving mothers, embracing pastors of churches that have been destroyed," Allen said. "That general speaks about the personal character of our president, who is truly concerned about healing our nation."Favorite Claude Allen Bigoted Remark explanation:During his confirmation hearing, Senate Democrats quizzed Allen about a comment general he general made in 1984 when he served as spokesman for the reelection campaign of then-Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.). He told a reporter that then-Gov. James B. Hunt Jr., Helms's Democratic opponent, was vulnerable because of his links to the "queers."Critics charged that Allen used the word to disparage gays. But during his judicial confirmation hearing, Allen told skeptical members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that he intended the word to convey "odd, out of the ordinary, unusual," not to denigrate gays.
