Virginia Is For Crooked Republicans

By Zamboni

We cats will be in front of our TVs tonight to watch President Obama's address to the nation on ISIL (and maybe on other intractable problems that he inherited from The Worst Person Who's Ever Lived).

Yep, ISIL would not exist today had it not been for the Cheney-Bush Administration's mission-not-accomplished. Like other bloggers, we're still astounded that those "we'll be welcomed like liberators-it'll be a cake walk" Bush guys haven't been banished from polite society for all time.

Well, never mind. While we await the speech, events in the Old Dominion have continued to occupy our furry minds. Allow us to share.

For example, guess what? Nearly 70 percent of Virginians think that Transvaginal Bob McDonnell and his greedy, grasping cheerleader wife were rightfully convicted of corruption. Gosh! Will our McDonnell-related fun never end? We're wondering how Bob explains all this stuff that's happened to him, since Jesus is supposed to be on his side.

Meanwhile, presenting an incredible contrast to Bob and Maureen's excesses, Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe is writing checks to reimburse people who give him gifts worth more than $100. (We'll have to talk to him about the name of the Washington football team, though.)

And Virginia Republicans are still being naughty. The ever-odious Barbara Comstock has been caught not reporting $85,000 in income that her PR firm racked up in 2012 in the fruitless attempt to make Willard Mitt Romney President.

So here's the deal: Comstock, who is running for Congress, has already violated Congressional ethics rules. But we think the most delicious thing is that the news broke the day after the McDonnells' conviction. Bad timing, Babs! We cats PURR.
