That damned Washington Post
Any question why Republicans can't stand the Post?
For example, McDonnell (R) was present at a charity auction in 2011
when the chief executive of Star Scientific, which makes a dietary
supplement, successfully bid on a fashion tour of New York for the
governor’s wife in front of a crowd of onlookers, witnesses said.
Separately, the executive, Jonnie R. Williams Sr., flew the governor
and his wife on a weekend trip to Cape Cod, in Massachusetts, over
Labor Day weekend last year. And Williams repeatedly allowed the
governor, his sons and staff to play golf and buy golf gear at elite
Richmond area country clubs, running up more than $7,000 on Williams’s
tab, according to the documents turned over to authorities.
Each of these newly public examples of Williams’s generosity came on
top of more than $150,000 worth of valuables and money The Washington
Post has previously reported — gifts that Williams provided to the
governor’s family over more than 18 months in 2011 and 2012.
