How sad. I am always hoping for BETTER democrats that are able to leave the pay to play schemes to the truly corrupt republicans.

It seems that when the GOPers stir shit, it splatters on the curious.
My God are political folks stupid. If you have the ability to do a favor for someone who you need a favor from, DON’T LEAVE THE OFFER ON VOICEMAIL. Period full stop!

There are Illinois Governors doing time over shit like this. Prosecute the MFers.
Cool. Do we prosecute the GOPhers who got Puckett to quit his job so his daughter could have a job? Or are we just following the “October Surprise” line of thinking?

In other words, EVERYBODY knew Puckett was a whore. Only the price of his sluttiness was in question.

Sounds like Virginia State government is corrupt, top to bottom, left to right.

Didn’t the republicans offer the daughter a job as a judge first? There is a big difference in a suggestion than a job offer. I think the republicans made a job offer. Neither one is good, but really is anyone surprised?

I was thinking, ok, just an aide thing. However, when I read Virginia “Department of Mines Minerals and Energy”, my hackles went up. The US is no better than DR Congo with respect to agency capture and corruption when it comes to primary mineral and energy extraction. Such behavior hurts society’s interests generally and over the very long term…

Reagan might as well have tweeted a dick pic to her, too. You can never have enough embarrassing digital communications.

Wonder how well that bastard sleeps knowing that because of him 800,000 people in Virginia are deprived of health care, AND he didn’t get his plum cushy tobacco job to boot? I sure hope he believes in heaven and hell.

Nothing illegal about that. Idiot.
no one could be surprised that the mcauliffe administration is as corrupt as the previous one.
And, of course, a Gillespie administration will be completely, utterly without sin.
Child, PLEASE!

Obviously, the corrupt practices of conservative Republicans is having a negative affect upon good and decent people now.
Like carbon emissions deteriorate weather, conservatism erodes liberalism, specifically the principle of advancement based on equal opportunity (hiring), and of representative government that reflects the will of the people (Medicaid).
Eliminate conservatism and the Democratic Party will be fine.

Never did like McAuliffe. The ultimate Republican lite.
Corrupt dealing for a good purpose may be better than for a bad purpose, or for lining one’s pocket, but only marginally.

Sooo…someone who wasn’t the subject of a recorded message can be picked to run an agency but we can’t allow this woman to run an agency because, because…? Do you think that the people picked for these political jobs are coming from an employment agency?
