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.

 I'm following Ken Cuccinelli's wildly inappropriate and unethical, taxpayer-funded, political "town hall" meeting in Rocky Mountain at NLS's Twitter feed. Here are a few "highlights," to use the word loosely, so far. Thanks to Ben for the excellent coverage, by the way!
*"Wow, huge crowd, I have to go in the overflow room. Must be 200+ people here"
*"Wow, they are introducing Republican party officials for applause at a town hall paid for by the state."
*"Cooch just said 'from the dark side' when intro speaker said he was from Fairfax."
*"Poindexter claiming VA passed HC Freedom Act in response to federal bill that was passed. actually 2 month earlier"
*"Ken says he is here to discuss federal legislation that will raise electricity costs. Too bad cap+trade is dead."
*"Words not used: "energy conservation"."
*"Wow, Cooch is bragging about blocking money for utilities for Carbon Capture costs. Disgusting."
*"Cooch claiming Cap+Trade will raise rates here by 35 percent. #liar"
*"Cooch claiming cap + trade will cost Virginia 50,000 job losses. #liar"
Lots more after the "flip." My god, this is pitiful. |
