Late Saturday evening and early Sunday morning, the
communications director for embattled Virginia Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell
denied a report on a prominent Virginia politics blog that McDonnell was
finalizing plans to resign from office.
McDonnell has come under fire for potentially having
violated the state's ethics laws by not reporting a Rolex watch valued at
around $6,000 when laws require him to report any gift valued over $50.
McDonnell's office has claimed the gift was from a "personal friend"
and thus not in violation of the state's ethics laws.
Bearing Drift, one of the most respected and
indispensable sites on Virginia politics, reported
on Saturday night that two independent sources said McDonnell is
"currently in the middle of finalizing a plea agreement which includes his

My Take – It never ceases to amaze me at the level of
stupidity, greed, arrogance, self indulgence, and deceit these people
display. It never ceases to amaze me how
many people they can draw into their circle.
When someone is in politics long enough to win that kind of office their
character had to have been vetted by those around them, and yet they still
supported this man to the point where some of them thought it would just be jim-dandy
if he ran for President. What does that
say about their character? We have
people with totally besmirched characters like “Anthony The Weiner”, who is ahead
in the polls running for Mayor of NYC, and disgraced former governor, Elliot Spitzer
saying he’s going to run for public office again…..and apparently they are
surrounded by supporters. How insane is
that?
