Hoo boy. It's only the first post-jury-selection day for the Transvaginal-Bob-McDonnell-and-his-greedy-wife corruption trial, and already it's made headlines.
"[F]ormer first lady Maureen McDonnell had a crush on wealthy benefactor Jonnie Williams, Sr. and considered him her favorite 'playmate,' a defense attorney told jurors today," the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports. Williams, we are told, "showered her with the attention she craved."
What? We cats have questions.
Why is Maureen's "crush" a defense? It just adds fuel to the prosecutors' fire. What better way for a spoiled, mad-as-a-wet-cat former cheerleader to get back at her neglectful Governor-husband by making him do illegal stuff for her favorite... oh, sorry, but we can't repeat it without hacking up a hairball. Our point is this: Bob still did the stuff.
And — marital problems? What's that about? Maybe one of Transvaginal Bob's character witnesses, Ken "Fetuses Should Drive Ferraris" Cuccinelli, can explain why a devout couple like the McDonnells didn't get marriage counseling from their clergyman like every good Christian man and wife are supposed to do.
We just hope that Transvaginal Bob, as he sat and listened to this embarrassing tripe, felt like somebody was sticking a probe up a body cavity. As for us, in the words of Alan Jay Lerner: "How simply frightful! How humiliating! How delightful!"
