Allen never had a flag collection.

Bob Gibson: Sen. Allen’s 13-year-old story that the the Confederate Navy Jack hanging on the wall of his home was a part of a large collection of flags is just that — a story. In fact, he had only that and a U.S. flag hanging on opposite sides of his living room. I wonder if he’ll come clean on this, or if he’ll try out a few more excuses before he admits it, as with the Siddarth incident.
