Gov McDonnell, When Will Spare Your State The Embarrassment

[J.E.D]

...and step down already?

Gov. McDonnell described as aware of gifts from Virginia businessman

Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell was aware of gifts and financial help provided by a wealthy Richmond area businessman during the same months the governor and his wife took steps to help his company, according to people familiar with documents and interviews gathered by federal investigators.

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.

I personally don't mind watching the state government of Virginia twist in the wind.

Did Charlie Rangel step down for failing to pay taxes? But then again the rules don't apply to Democrats.

Just pointing out teh incredible hypocrisy of the Left.

Right. Because a Democrat congressman or mayor caught in a sex scandal who was then forced to resign by his colleagues is exactly the same as a Republican gov caught in a corruption scandal whose colleagues aren't asking him to resign, who has no plans on resigning, and who won't even admit to any wrong doing.

Yep, those are exactly the same. Thanks for pointing out the hypocrisy of Democrats

In your mind the only difference is the Democrat is right and the Republican is wrong.

Filner was totally and completely wrong and so glad to see him gone. so....what do you say about Gov. McDonnell?

In fairness, Rangle did explain it though to anyone with a critical mind. The head of the committed that writes the tax code didn't know he had to pay taxes on foreign investment. There's no way you can doubt that is there?

Filner was only trying to do what Bill Clinton did. Clinton got his rich Democrats to donate to his defense fund and didn't resign.

Good comeback, bro. Now if you would kindly point to where I ever said that I approve of Weiner's or that scumbag mayor's behavior?...

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I say the same thing I said about Mark Sanford, Anthony Weiner or anyone else you want to name Democrat or Republican that is up to the people they represent if they want them gone they can make it happen if they don't so be it.
