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.


Hopefully, the legacy McDonnell leaves Virginia will be the defeat
shortly of his absolutely insane Attorney General, who wants to succeed
the governor as the next governor.

If you want a laugh, just look up the various bat**** crazy positions on
issues of Ken Cuccinelli. This is one of my favorite:



Virginia's attorney general Ken Cuccinelli is hard at work on the
important issues of the day -- like making sure the Roman goddess
depicted on his state's official seal isn't exposing herself.

The current seal shows "Virtus, the goddess of virtue, dressed as a
warrior," with her foot resting "on the chest of the figure of tyranny,
who is lying on the ground." She is holding a spear and her left breast
is exposed.

Or at least it was exposed. At a recent meeting, Cuccinelli provided
pins to his staff with a new seal on which "Virtus' bosom is covered by
an armored breastplate," the Virginian-Pilot reported. These new pins
were not paid for by taxpayer dollars, Cuccinelli's office insisted.

The original state seal was designed by George Wythe, a signer of the
Declaration of Independence, and was first adopted in 1776, according to
a Virginia state website. But so much for that.

"When you ask to be ridiculed, it usually happens. And it will happen
here, nationally," University of Virginia political scientist Larry
Sabato told the Pilot. "This is classical art, for goodness' sake."

Cuccinelli, of course, is against the rights of women and workers and
immigrants. He's a real rigid right-wing asshole and hopefully the
voters of Virginia will show him the door.

Oh, he's accepted bribes, too, just like the current gov.
