Bob McDonnell Ends Term In Virginia Statehouse With Scandal-Stained Year

""What a great governor you have," Romney told cheering Virginians. "What a terrific man and a terrific leader. Way to go."

That was then.

McDonnell leaves office in January under the cloud of a federal investigation that has overshadowed his accomplishments, risks tarnishing his legacy and perhaps has crippled beyond repair a once-promising political future. He hasn't ruled out a return to politics — though his options seem limited. He told The Associated Press in a recent interview that he would remain engaged in "compassionate conservative" policies he values, including perhaps homelessness or prisoners' rights, but wouldn't disclose specifics.

The governor's seat has opened the door to higher office since Thomas Jefferson held it from 1779 to 1781. McDonnell's two immediate predecessors — Democrats Tim Kaine and Mark Warner — are now U.S. senators. Even so, McDonnell said he has no interest in the Senate and has never thought seriously about the White House. He brushed aside questions about whether an investigation into his relationship with a donor had derailed his political career, saying he's never looked beyond his current position."

Uhuh....

What do you think?

The good news? Scandal plagued Terry McAuliffe will be the new Governor, so things will continue to go straight into the dumper.

As a Virginian, please, no more carpetbagger pieces of shit like McAuliffe, McDonnell, or Cuccinelli. They can stay in the rust belt shit holes up north that there ilk drove into the ground decades ago.

My State, thank God, is still a nice place to live. Let's keep it that way. Native Virginians like Douglas Wilder, Carter Glass, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Washington, Woodrow Wilson, etc did a pretty good job. Please no more rust belt scumbags.
