RICHMOND, Va. - A c, , ) (sic) turned physical when a liberal blogger was wrestled to the ground after heckling the senator about his divorce and court records.
Stark‘s comments Tuesday and the confrontation that followed were captured by WVIR-TV in Charlottesville.
Stark later said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press: "I am a constituent. I am allowed to ask my U.S. senator questions." He later demanded that Allen fire the staffers involved and threatened to press charges.
Allen‘s former wife, Anne Waddell, issued a statement after Tuesday‘s incident calling Stark‘s question "a baseless, cheap shot." She said she and Allen divorced more than 22 years ago and, because it was a personal matter, they had the divorce records sealed.
So the former Mrs Allen is taking his side in the sealed records controversy. She musta gotten a big Bush tax cut... and have no kids in Iraq.
