Allred report details page incident

you should learn how to spell lose

Isn't it just one "O" like GOP?

Yes, why is he still where he is. What about the poor girl... No justice

A Jameson

If his fellow Republicans were irked by it then you can rest assured it was uncalled for.

Hackney and Stam's "Much Ado About Nothing." This is simply prudish behavior on the part of the General Assembly. This incident does not rise to a decorum breach. Actually, this would be a good time to call in scholars in organizational behavior. Let us hope that these ongoing imbecilic decorum recriminations by our legislators do not actually escalate to total "McCarthyism!"

Is that a gang hand sign he is flashing in the photo

Something to keep the lemmings occupied while Gov. Bev & the Dems in NCGL continue to rape & plunder the taxpayers of NC. How typical. I bet if he had a "D" next to his name this would already be a "no-story" here, folks.

My concern is Rep. Alred was apparently driving under the influence of alcohol at 102 mph. Thank God nobody was killed. He should loose his licenses and never be allowed to drive again. Two Million dollars! Sounds just like a drunk. I've seen a lot of drunk millionares on Monday night that had to borrow money the next morning to get out of the mess they got in the night before.

As for the happenings on the Chamber Floor, those present can handle that situation.

He's a Republican, as was Rep. Almond, who resigned last session after pulling his penis out and showing it to his 63 year-old assistant. Just for the record.

At least the page was a female. Wonder if his 102 speeding ticket has been dismissed yet? "special" people like some of them think they are aren't suppose to be bothered with tickets like us common folk (taxpayers).

Hard to say which is scarier ..... the picture of this old coot kicking back ... or that picture of "Ugly Mary" the N&O was running this morning. Pretty much a tie I think.

(1) The ones complaining were just jealous.
(2) It didn't cost ME or any other taxpayer in NC ONE CENT, like the infamous SLEAZELY GANG is doing, and like little BEV is and will do.
(3) Forget about it. Go after the SLEAZELY/PERDUE GANG. THAT WILL affect your life. Some old man that can't even get it up anymore is immaterial.

<Insert your own "bend over the pages" joke here>

Because the N/O hasn't reported on Mr. Allred's political affiliation and because we know if he was Republican that would have been all over the article we should assume that he is a Democrat and we shouldn't be surprised; after all inappropriate behavior with Pages is a resume enhancer for a Democrat.

This sounds like a whole lot of nothing. I think we should let the voters of Alamance County decide. They know him best.

I get the sense that some people commenting here haven't read the actual report. Read it. And as for Blackwood, if that man thought what he saw was just fine and dandy, I hope they keep the pages away from him, too.

Even if Allred did know the girl and her family, it was not appropriate to hug and kiss in a public setting without her parents around. It is the apperance of misbehaving that is damaging to the state and Allred should at least be publically censored and watched like a hawk. At the most he should resign from the general assembly. I have been told our state has the 5th highest unemployment rate in the nation. We are becoming well known for crooked state administrations, and could very well gain the reputation of Raleigh being amoral, if the Allred type of thing is allowed to go on. It is one thing to be out with the girl's family in public and giving a hug and smooch with the parents standing there. To do so without the parents present, on the floor of the general assembly leaving the interpretation of a hug and a kiss to others who are not aware of ties to the family, is uncalled for and unprofessional. And the beat goes on.
If it weren't for bad news, Raleigh would not be in the news at all this year.

Take this old coot out back and "straighten him out" then have him resign and go away.

Then get back to "Getting the Easleys".

I think a lot of people care. First, the eyewitness accounts suggest she looked very uncomfortable. Second, even if she weren't uncomfortable, it is inappropriate behavior on the floor of the House. Third, it isn't hearsay when you've got testimony from multiple witnesses corroborating the same sorry scene. Fourth, the harshest words and expressions of disgust came from fellow Republicans. Get a clue.

If it wasn't a problem for the girl, then who cares? She and her family have publicly indicated as much. I love how hearsay becomes gospel truth.

"I am 62 years old, and I'm worth $2 million," said Allred. "People ought to show me respect."

Apparently Allred has a warped sense of what it means to "earn" respect. Wonder how he treats his not-so-wealthy constituents?

Mr. Allred seems to have forgotten that respect is earned.

"Tillis recounted that Allred said, "I am 62 years old, and I'm worth $2 million. People ought to show me respect."

"I am 62 years old, and I'm worth $2 million. People ought to show me respect."

?!?

all state elected offices should be for 4 years only,then boot them out

the good ole boys that run our state,pittyful

That poor girl is probably traumatized.

Cheers to the GOP members who were outraged enough to speak out about this. I would assume a number of Democrats witnessed this incident, but that their testimony would be suspect on the basis of party prejudice. But just as Democrats took steps to rid the house of Wright in the wake of revelations about his activities, the GOP has stepped up to the plate here to clean their own house as well.

Good for Speaker Hackney for requiring the investigation and good for the GOP members who wouldn't stand for this kind of behavior.

Some stuff just doesn't pass the stench test, no matter what side of the aisle you're on.

Contrary to some comments, Maybe his trouble stems from being a republican.
queston was it just hugging or lip kissing too. then you got a case

Allred needs to step down. He is an embarassment to himself, to his constituents, and to this state.

It's time for Allred to be clocked at 102 mph heading home for good.

Ewww, that Allred thing seems to be just across-the-board creepy. All those that saw it and were troubled were fellow Republicans. Good for them for being honest. Creepy old man needs to go enjoy his 2 million dollar net worth in a nice quiet place, away from young girls.
