Yeah, except for that L.A. Law episode with Jimmy Smits, you can’t make this shit up.
It is obvious this guy is gay and the double lifestyle drove the wife mad. He certainly threw her off the cliff trying to save his a$$. Dr. George A. Rekers if I ever saw one.
Don’t these deeply religious fundies view themselves and want others to view them as one entity, especially after decades of marriage?
Why I know many long-term married couples who hate one another and haven’t spoken in years but still reside in one dwelling and present a united economic front…loveless and moneyless are two very different things.
I say shove a vaginal probe up his ass and let God sort it out…
Cuz traditional Christian family values dictate that when the husband is on trial for corruption, you throw your wife under the bus, over a cliff, into the jaws of a killer shark, feed her to a ravenous lion…to save your own ass st the expensr of your own ass!
This is a good time for her to file for divorce!
In more conventional criminal cases, prosecutors regularly prove conspiracy among groups of people who are simultaneously trying to bump one another off. I’m thinking that it might not be beyond folks like this to perjure themselves for the sake of an acquittal.
For today’s GOP politician---- the respect of wives, children, cats and dogs,
morality, honesty and just general common sense is unprecedented. I fear
it will never come back.
Leave it to a GOPer to throw his wife under the bus.
#She made me do it!
I believe that is what is happening ; )
So sad. It almost doesn’t matter whether they are convicted or not.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I stand before you today with a heavy heart and say:
“Dat bitch cray cray.”
The Defense rests, your honor.
Run over by a crappy purple Scion…
Don’t try to get away with federal corruption. The female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
Whether McDonnell allowed/gave Johnny Williams more than basic access, which is unbelievable on it’s own, doesn’t really matter. The fact that he accepted the bribes and played along is the crux of the issue. Its kind of a, in for a penny-in for a dollar, sort of thing.
If he wants to spill his supposed marital problems and let the world know that his wife was a supposed loon with no self control and apparently horny as hell, then fine, let loose. That doesn’t remove the fact that both of them were exploiting the privileges of the office.
I believe guilt is a given and McDonnell is angling for a lighter sentence. Especially since life in prison is a possibility.
And on a side note; how 'bout these Republicans eh! The Kochs can manage their free billions but they can’t pick politicians for squat.
The Crazy Wife Defense will go into the annals of Bizarre Criminal Defenses alongside of the Twinkie Defense used by Dan White’s lawyers in the murder case of Mayor SF Moscone and Harvey Milk.
I feel so privileged to be a witness to history in the making, don’t you all fellow TPM groupies?
It was gay marriage that destroyed that family I telz ya! GAY MARRIAGE!!
stamm
As dey would say in my ol’ naybahood, dem queers iz weird, weird, I tell yah.

Guv Vag Probe wore the rolex and drove the car. Maureen didn’t make him do that.
I just took a 2nd look at the photo of her. Hell, that alone would scare any man into erectile dysfunction.
Unprecedented? Teabaggers are always throwing people under the bus.
What’s unprecedented?
