The Stench

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.

Rachel Maddow: McDonnell, Cooch Turning Virginia Into "Jesse Helms-istan"

by: lowkell

Rachel Maddow calls out Bob McDonell and Ken Kookinelli for their homophobic bigotry, "birtherism" (in Cooch's case) and overall insanity. According to Maddow, McDonnell and Cooch are turning Virginia into "Jesse Helms-istan." Maddow also slams the national media for reporting McDonnell's and Cooch's bizarre explanations and behaviors without any critical analysis or journalistic skepticism. The more this continues, I'd argue we're looking as much like "Idiocracy" as "Jesse Helms-istan." But then again, I guess those are really flip sides of the same coin anyway.

We Have To Strategize Around Kookanelli (0.00 / 0)

HE CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE ON HIS CURRENT PATH FREE OF CHARGE

People do not support this garbage. We should hound him till he whimpers and says "UNCLE."
