JayB Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Wow. I will join the ranks of those who believe that Karl Rove has supernatural spinning powers if he can figure out a way to make this one go away. Pretty bad. "Claude Alexander Allen, age 45, . . . was charged with theft scheme over $500 and theft over $500. . . . On January 2, 2006, a Target store Loss Prevention Manger observed an unknown man enter the store located at 25 Grand Corner Avenue in Gaithersburg. He was observed in the store with an empty Target bag in a shopping cart. The man was then seen selecting merchandise throughout the store and placing items in the Target bag. He put additional items in his cart. The man then went to guest services where he produced a receipt and received a refund for the items he had just selected from the store shelves. After receiving the refund he left the store without paying for the additional merchandise in the shopping cart. He was apprehended by the store employee. He would buy items, take them out to his car, and return to the store with the receipt. He would select the same items he had just purchased, and then return them for a refund. . . . Throughout 2005 he obtained refunds for items ranging from clothing, a Bose theater system, stereo equipment, and [a] photo printer to items valued only at $2.50. " What makes this interesting is who Claude Allen is. Last month, as the New York Times reports, he resigned as the White House's top domestic policy adviser, ostensibly to spend more time with his family. Earlier President Bush had nominated him for a seat on the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but he withdrew his name after Democrats filibustered the nomination."

Sounds like he wanted to spend more time being a kleptomaniac. "Family values", yeah baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Target is now claiming it was their fault for not letting Mr. Allen know that he couldn't do that. They apologize profusely for causing him embarresment and grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraysovereign Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 ...he resigned as the White House's top domestic policy adviser... The White House had a "domestic policy advisor"? Wow, talk about a cushy job, being a domestic policy advisor to an administration with no discernible domestic policy. I wonder if the position is still open - anyone know who I would call to apply?

Apply for it, @ $161,000 it's a great gig. In another twist he has an identical twin brother. His lawyer says it's all just a big misunderstanding.
