Va. Governor 'Tranvaginal' Bob McDonnel is getting a proctological exam from the FBI. Better known to Va. residents as 'Sodomy Bob McDonnel'.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.:rolleyes:

"Tucker Martin, a spokesman for McDonnell, a possible 2016 presidential contender, said, “It is the policy of the governor’s office to not comment on any possible investigations.”

Please,
Please,
Please, run for President.:rolleyes::D

Oh, my. That is so sad, our own government srcutinizing and harrassing such a fine, Christian man. How dare they! After all, they all do it, so what's the big deal................?

Unless, of course, it's the president. Then the gloves come off.

You know, once again I sat and listened to a couple of wingnuts bitch about the "HNIC up in Washington" yesterday................

No. No bigotry to be found there. The GOP wuld never dream of courting votes from people like that. Perish the thought.

I don't think I want to hear about gloves coming off and proctological exams in the same thread.:eek:

"In early April, as reports surfaced over Williams’ gifts to Cuccinelli and Gov. Bob McDonnell and his family, Cuccinelli spokesman Brian Gottstein said the attorney general had “disclosed and detailed everything that Jonnie Williams ever gave him.”
But on Friday, Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for governor, acknowledged: “I missed some things that I was supposed to disclose.” He said the omissions were “all inadvertent” and “unintentional on my part.”
Previously, Cuccinelli had reported receiving $13,000 in gifts from Williams, including lodging at Williams’ Goochland County mansion when he first started serving as attorney general; a week’s stay at the lake house in 2011; a flight to Kentucky to attend a political event; and a $6,700 box of Star Scientific’s dietary supplement, Anatabloc."

Pretty grafty bunch running the state of Virginia these days. Only after the question of McDonnells' involvement with Star Scientific does Cuccinelli come forward with all of these gifts. Cuccinelli is the Republican heir apparent for the governor's office. So much for being the law and order party...:rolleyes:

Just doing God's work (in their own eyes). As big of a dipsh!t as Cuccinelli is, his opponent for Governor will be Terry McAuliffe (of Bill Clinton fame). It'll be a race between two uninspiring slimeballs, but Cuccinelli is certainly slimier.

It gets worse...

"As for Mr. Cuccinelli, he finds himself in a rapidly thickening ethical morass related to the whistle-blower who first alerted federal and state authorities to the McDonnell-Williams back-scratching. In what appears to be a flagrant conflict of interest, Mr. Cuccinelli — who has counted on Mr. Williams for gifts and travel and Mr. McDonnell for political support — gave the green light to embezzlement charges against the whistle-blower, Todd Schneider (http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/va-politics/ex-chef-at-va-governors-mansion-charged/2013/03/28/891cbdb2-97d7-11e2-97cd-3d8c1afe4f0f_story.html), former top chef at the Executive Mansion (http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/va-politics/mcdonnell-mum-on-chefs-claims/2013/04/25/0223a526-adb4-11e2-a986-eec837b1888b_story.html?wprss=rss_arlington).
Here we have the attorney general of Virginia, who aspires to be governor, prosecuting the chief tormentor of two of his most important patrons. That’s not just a failure of common sense on Mr. Cuccinelli’s part; it’s an ethical lapse.
Under pressure, Mr. Cuccinelli announced Friday afternoon — when relatively few were likely to notice — that his office would now recuse itself (http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/va-politics/cuccinelli-lays-out-reasons-for-recusal-from-mansion-chef-case/2013/04/26/bbc0b628-ae9e-11e2-98ef-d1072ed3cc27_story.html) from the embezzlement case against Mr. Schneider. He used the flimsy excuse that a former employee of the Executive Mansion, who might be a witness in the Schneider case, is now a fundraiser for his gubernatorial campaign — a fact known to Mr. Cuccinelli for months.
The troubling questions about the McDonnell-Cuccinelli-Williams affair are mounting. Did the governor and his wife accept unreported gifts from Mr. Williams in return for political favors? Did Mr. Schneider’s role as whistle-blower factor in any way into Mr. Cuccinelli’s pursuit of criminal charges against him? How could Mr. Cuccinelli not have remembered that Mr. Williams paid for his family’s summer vacation last year? Virginians deserve answers."
