Discussion: Bob McDonnell Takes Stand In Corruption Trial

Discussion for article #226691

He took the stand and said, ‘My wife made me do it.’ And then the media goes off on Bob’s wife for being such an Eve.

What a sorry little man McDonnell is, trying to blame his wife to resurrect/save his political future. Here’s a news flash for you McDonnell, you have NO political future. They are a sorry/disgusting pair of human beings.

The first question he was asked was “What time is it?”

Bob McDonnell should carry this conservative crazy wife defense to other aspects of his life including paying taxes. He’s already throwing her under the bus and should make the most of this.

I wonder whether Al Capone and the mob bosses who were brought down for tax fraud by Eliott Ness could have claimed that their wives were crazy or were messing around with another crime family as part of their defense.

Chris Christe could use the crazy wife defense for shutting down the George Washington Bridge. Prick Berry could use the crazy wife theory for abusing power and for threatening an elected official. Thad Cochran could use the theory to justify his comments about indecent activities with farm animals. This last one is really low, I know.

Al Qaeda terrorists could have the most legal hay out of the crazy wife defense. They have so many wives they could blame their actions on.

The crazy wife defense is the most innovative conservative legal theory since the Twinkie defense of the 80’s.

Virginia is for lovers. Except for when you need your wife to take all of the judicial heat and the inevitable fall to preserve a smidgen of your political career.

To be fair the Rolex crawled onto his wrist while he was sleeping. He did not know how it got there.

I wonder when the “Woman Scorned” thingy is going to kick in?
That I believe will be a “breaking news” item immediately. lol
Sooner or later she will bite back and it’s going to be a big one once she realizes she is on her own and ole Bob was just feeding her BS on how to get through this mess. She won’t go down alone. No woman does. lol lol

“…was a little surprised…”

By his salary? She was “surprised” at his salary?

What kind of man is so distant from his family that his mate has no idea about the family’s financial plan until she wakes up and realizes her over-sold, under-achieving husband is cutting back on her lifestyle, because… oops, he veered into a career path with a dramatic, unexpected change in the family budget that she wasn’t consulted about?

McDonnell is full of crap, still trying to insist reality is the fantasy in his mind.

I’ll say this. Maureen McDonnell is no Pat Nixon!

Just flabbergasted to learn that yet more Republicans are nothing more than greedy, self serving leeches on society.

Simply shocked.

I don’t have much sympathy you either McDonnell, but does it occur to anyone else that they are dumping this whole thing on Maureen? She was the crazy greedy wife that no one could handle, while he was just doing the best that he could as Governor. (Wasn’t he the one with the Rolex and driving the Ferrari? Just sayin…)
