Sen. George Allen, silly little monkey that he is, had no idea that he ought to report holding stock options in two federal contractors while serving in the Senate. Of course, you wouldn’t expect a lawyer to know anything about the law, or to bother to find out, would you?
And of course it was entirely appropriate for the Senator to “ask the Army to resolve a lingering issue” with one of the companies whose options he held.
File this under the “Allen simply isn’t a very bright guy” label.
Not at all surprising. He probably paid someone to take his law classes and his bar exam.
