Find out how Cooch took $55,000 from the disgraced "U.S. Navy Veterans Association," in apparent exchange for his promise to get the Virginia Office of Consumer Affairs (which had "notified Thompson's group that it no longer qualified for an exemption from state registration requirements") off the group's back. Can we say "pay-to-play?" Find out more.
Another day, another crazy/stupid/politically tone deapf appointment by Bob McDonnell, pfollowing on the heels of his appointments of corrupt "Jew counter" Pfred Malek and massive conflict-of-interest guy Bob Sledd. Now, it's our old pfriend, former McCain gaffesperson Nancy Pfotenhauer, who believes that Northern Virginia - the economic and demographic engine of the state - isn't a "real" part of Virginia. Now, as a reward for not believing Northern Virginia is "real Virginia," McDonnell has appointed Pfotenhauer to "the governing board of the largest University in 'Fake Virginia'" - George Mason University! As Ben says, although I'd spell it differently, "What the Pfuck?" Another day in the not-ready-for-prime-time administration.
