Breaking: McDonnell family throws mom under the bus.

18 Likes

Bob McDonnell toned done his religiosity a bit when he got elected governor and started dreaming of higher office later. But in his days in the General Assembly many of us on the Left referred to him as “Taliban Bob” because of his oft-expressed wishes to theocratize Virginia law to conform to his (and Pat Robertson’s) family values. Nowadays, I guess those “family values” don’t begin at home, eh?

This whole family is a sorry bunch. Good riddance to them all, I say.

Except, girls, your mother wasn’t the elected official here, was she? Therefore, your father should be held to the higher standard and be punished at least as severely as your mother, if not more.

If this is true – that he was blindly dominated by his spouse- - then McDonnell was clearly unfit to be governor, and should reasonably have been aware of that fact long before he ran. Yet he subjected the state to incompetent and corrupt administration anyway. So really, no reduction in sentence.

If not true, well, then that’s just the way christianists roll. Whatever happened to bearing your suffering bravely?

It’s amazing to see the depts of desperation and depravety these so called Christians go to save their own skin. He going to look like a regular criminal in that prison garb.

They’re exhibiting the classic fundamentalist behavior: they’re lying their asses off. No, sweetie, that wasn’t daddy’s Rolex. Gotcha.

You trans-vaginal Christo-fascists always lecture everyone that the first step to redemption is confessing one’s sins. But clearly in your mind that’s just for the “little people,” like paying taxes.

This nut job is gonna make a wonderful prison missionary for your invisible sky daddy. You should celebrate your god’s plan for him. It’s not nice to fight against your god’s plan, you know. He’s liable to torture you severely for it after you’re dead, because he loves you soooo much…

I’m guessing it was Mom who refused to let the kids have a pony. Payback’s a bitch.

My thoughts exactly. What’s the most awkward holiday in the McDonnell family? Mother’s Day!

“My dad is the least materialistic person that I have ever known and he has never cared about things …”

If you’re going to lie, at least make the lie somewhat believable. This is just sad.
