The commonwealth’s highest law enforcement officer, Attorney General Bob McDonnell has signed on as co-chair of Fred Thompson’s campaign in Virginia.
He hasn’t resigned, and doesn’t seem to be taking an unpaid leave, so are taxpayers subsidizing his work for Thompson?
He’s already appeared at a Thompson events in DC [editor's note: couldn't find link for this], not exactly within his job description, and now co-chair (along with ex-senator George ‘macaca’ Allen), which would seem to require a significant chunk of his time… The primary is Feb. 12 in VA; that’s three months of his time at our expense?!
What if Thompson wins the primary? Will McDonnell stay on for the general election 9 months later? Will he continue to draw a paycheck from the taxpayers?
I dont know how to post links, and I’m not sure how I managed to get two things out on the front page already, so I’m not the person to handle this… maybe Waldo? It’d be nice if someone with some sort of credentials got some direct quotes from McDonnell’s office as well.
If a couple of city councilors who want to go to Italy is newsworthy, then maybe this is?

Fred Thompson won’t win the primary. He is just the closest thing to Zombie Reagan that could be propped up in hopes of some sort of Grand Ol Renaissance, but he lacks the pompadour and so will be relegated back to waxing the epilogues of stories about bastardized pop crime by and by.
Also, state employees get paid “leave” time, sometimes a crap load of it. The money comes from our taxes, so I suppose it is subsidizing whatever they want to do on their free time, in a way. Funny to think of it that way. Delegate Duke “six-toed” McDurkwinkle autoerotically asphyxiating himself in a tub of baked beans while dressed as Donald Duck? My tax dollars at work!
Anyway, if AG Bob McD wants to spend his days off campaigning for zombie reagan’s doomed forehead, let him. Thats less time he will be spending figuring out how to sneak the bible back into public kindergarden. Holmes better not be using the office phone, stationery, or company crown vic for that shit though. Hmm.. yes. Perhaps Waldo should investigate. Where is waldo, anyway?
Oof. Not the best response to this hard hitting chunk o’ developing political scandal, but Ive only had about 3 hours sleep, I left my Lords of Umbrage jacket in the car, and I only felt compelled to post cause its so damn quiet around here.
And by the way, I heard the city council critters were only headed to Italy to bring back a $50,000 christmas tree for our holiday gala! Why do you all hate christmas? I gladly pay my ever increasing property taxes every year in the hopes of seeing that magic twinkle in a crippled child’s eye as he gazes upon whatever electrified foliage harvest the wise council has deemed appropriate to grace our wintered streets. In my head, I quietly chant: USA! USA!
OK. Somebody take away my keys to the internet. Im in no shape to drive.
Elected officials are always chairing various campaigns. Kaine has signed on with Obama, for instance.
LOL! I actually had some of the origional ornaments from the first tree after it was toppled. Hung them up and proceeded to ream the City manager, CFO, 1 assistant City manager, Director of Finance and budget until the Assistant City manager made the police come and confiscate the “stolen property.”
The cop just laughed when I asked for a report identifying the property, despite having a half dozen huge ornaments hanging on the walls. I knew I would not get arrested because the city had no desire to further the incident in the news.
borinnnng. let’s go back to being shallow and talking about drinking and dancing already.
Someone has a brain here…thank you Dave. belmont yo…you’re a trip…and I understand, but please don’t attempt to insult President Reagan.
SCREW THE GIPPPER
I think Yo said that Thompson is the “zombie Reagan”, which would means he thinks that Reagan was not a zombie. Nothing to object to there.
I merely meant that if Reagan were to run, he would have to come back from he dead. making him a zombie. Why do you assume thats a denegration? Please don’t insult zombies. Besides, if I were to insult him, I would have used my old 80’s name for him… Good Old Grampa Caligula. But whatever. Lets just let sleepin sandanistas lie, and agree to disagree, shall we?
