Not
so fast, Andrew Cuomo. We see what you did there. After publicly
bashing conservative New Yorkers as “extreme” people who have no place
in his state, the intolerant Democratic governor wants to blame the
media for his unmistakable contempt for those who oppose abortion,
support gun rights and defend traditional marriage...
Four years and one week ago, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell gave the Republican response to President Obama's State of the Union address. On Tuesday,
he and his wife, Maureen, were indicted on federal corruption charges
in connection to their relationship with a donor named Jonnie Williams,
according to the Washington Post and NY Times.
McDonnell's lawyers wasted no time, however, filing legal motions
Tuesday challenging the legitimacy of the criminal indictment, trying to
paint the ex-governor's actions as unexceptional rather than corrupt. Politico
reports McDonnell's legal team invokes the names of President Obama and
former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, arguing that Obama has traded official
appointments for political gifts and that, as governor, Kaine accepted
far more in personal gifts than McDonnell.
