here's what every op-ed page really needs: george allen's staff yapping out cliches about education. let me do the boilerplate: is george allen an opinion journalist? a writer? did he write this? does it say anything? let me say it again. if "he" wants to "express" "his" "views," let him have a press conference. if you want to find out his views, send a writer to interview him. and stop occupying your op-ed page with press releases.
