Oh, Free Fun!
If you want some free quality entertainment, go read the indictment of the Virginia Governor and his prissy wife. It’s a damn hoot.
They are poor people wanting the rich lifestyle. You know, Republicans.

Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
My interest in what happens to Robert McDonnell wouldn’t get me past more than three pages. Just knowing that indictment exists makes me happy.
1Can I just wait till the good part………..the sentencing stage?!?!?!?!?
2All I needed was the headline. Delicious. That and David Vitter running for Gov in LA. And of course the Stockman photoshop and Louie Louie. What a day! Pass the popcorn!
3Why doesn’t Vitter’s opponent just photoshop him in a diaper? Isn’t he the one that likes that?
4Good gawd but those people (particularly her) are petty, obvious grasping specimens. And obviously so. Did she/they really think they wouldn’t get caught? Dumb too, then…
5Just knew that the indictments would happen! Now maybe the state will be legally relieved of picking up all their damn legal bills! That “supplement” entrepreneur who bribed the Governor should go to jail for selling a product that the FDC described as nothing but snake oil. The “supplement” market is composed mostly of just that! A total scam! All based on fears for your health. What a bunch of bums! As for David “Diaper” Vitter, this is actually his way of “gracefully” leaving the Senate. Its no shoo-in for him in Baton Rouge. What a dumb ass!
6I read it to the end. They were just so full of unmitigated gall, that I had to see how far it went. Do we know how they got caught?
7Hooboy. All we need here is a real bona fide BEST BOOKS writer to make a novel of this. Lots left to one’s imagination.
8I dunno… Even though it’s fun to watch a greedy Republican go down in flames, it’s still hard to beat our county exec who called his wife and told her the FBI was on the way and to flush that big check down the john and stuff $80,000 in cash into her bra. He’s due for release in 2018.
9I think you have to thank Rachel Maddow. She was the first to break the story. She ought to have lots to say about it tonight.
10Funny story, SusanF. According to WashPo, there was a tip to the fraud hotline saying that the chef was pilfering food from the Governor’s Mansion. When the authorities contacted the chef, he offered up all kinds of information about extra payments for catering.
11Geez, the Gov coulda picked a longer lasting cash stream…
The Star company as of March 2013
Number of shares outstanding for each class common equity as of March 5, 2013, 166,491,509 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
One hundredth of a cent a share???
12The only thing that would make me happier is to see that the Queen Grifter Palin and her ilk were indicted and sentenced!
13Ah, the good life, the rest of us have been on the outside looking in. Now the Gov. and his wife will be on the inside looking out, through bars.
14Hmm … just wondering if there’s something Gohmert might want to endorse …
15It seems that he studied law and public policy at Pat Robertson’s Regent University. Apparently the curriculum didn’t cover ethics or how to effectively cover your tracks when you’re on the take.
16I also love this quote from him when he attacked former Democratic governor Tim Kaine for not disclosing his full schedule as an elected official:
“The citizens must be certain that the governor is attending to the duties for which he was elected. The governor is Virginia’s chief executive and represents the commonwealth at all times.”
Way to represent! Now you will have the chance to represent the commonwealth at Club Fed.
Check out the list of property they may have to forfeit. Three golf bags but only two sets of clubs, 30 boxes of Anatabloc (facial cream), and of course $140,805.46.
Now I understand the skin cream, she needs it, but bribing a person with a second or third golf bag seem like overkill. I thought crooks had more imagination than that.
17BTW the Anatabloc is $299.99 for 1.7 fl. oz.
18Somebody — anybody!!!! —— sit that McDonnell boy down and explain to him that when you take money like this, even though you don’t reciprocate with a contract or something, it still makes you that guy’s bitch!!!
19What makes it even better is that he was the AG before being elected Gov.
How is he going to explain that he didn’t know the law?
And if they didn’t have the money before, how did they pay the guy back for the money they”borrowed”?
20legion357, par value for a stock is normally something like that. It’s only meaningful for bonds. Star Scientific’s market price today is 0.93. Still not a high-flyer.
21I read the whole thing and enjoyed every minute of it.
22The papers are now comparing the duo to Jim and Tammy Baker. A fitting comparison.
23I read the entire document, and boy, did I get a lesson is Grifting 101! That Maureen O’Donnell is one greedy woman. She was calling, writing, and emailing Jonnie Williams and getting her beg on. What made me laugh was reading about how she sent her designer duds back to JW and wrote him a letter saying maybe the items could be auctioned off! She only decided to do this after a visit from law enforcement officials. She also sold her Star Scientific stock before the year ended so that hubby wouldn’t have to include it on his VA disclosure forms, then re-purchased it at the beginning of the next year. She and Bob deserve each other because while she was doing her thing, he was busy lying to banks and credit unions. The biggest revelation in the indictment was discovering that Bob and Maureen were flat BROKE. Ya’ll know the first thing that came into my mind was how BM has talked and talked and talked about being a fiscal conservative, and how his actions did NOT match his words. The word hypocrite flashed in my mind in neon signs after I read this part of the indictment. I think he suspect4ed he’d be indicted, especially after I read that he’d asked some members of the legislature to call the U.S. Attorney’s office to vouch for his character. I’m so glad the U.S. Attorney refused to talk to them. I can also imagine it was quite a blow to Bob and Maureen when the judge refused to grant them an extension on their first court appearance.
24Actually, the following explains the entire farce:
“… Under current law, anyone can give anything to an elected official so long as it is reported. If the gift is from a “friend,” it need not be reported. If the gift is to an official’s spouse or other family members, it need not be reported.”
That’s the Commonwealth of Virginia’s anti-corruption law. Holy Hannah.
