Virginia’s 74th state district reelected Joe Morrissey to the House of Delegates in a special election held on Tuesday. He celebrated his victory from a jail cell.

Morrissey resigned from the seat last December after he was convicted for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old employee at his law office.

In Hillary’s immortal words, “What difference does it make?” The answer for Democrats is, “None....now where do I get the Free Stuff.”

When the Free Lance-Star newspaper of Fredericksburg VA ran the original story of his conviction, they never gave his party affiliation. They didn’t just leave it out of the lead paragraph, but the entire story.

Another glowing example of how state legislators are sooooo much better than their federal counterparts, and will magically send nothing but Henry Clay type statesmen to government if we let them appoint whoever they want.

When it comes to politicians, the DemocRATS don’t set very high standards. They’ll take a crook, bimbo or sexual deviant every time. All you have to do is promise the low information DemocRAT voters some more free stuff and you’ve got their vote.

Boston's mayor Curley did the same thing, mid-20th century. More local, more informed voters that chose to re-elect "their" rascal.

In current times, there's the LIV that doesn't know better/couldn't care less, and the LSM that buries 99.44% of negatives about Dems, while hyper-hyping the false/minor/youthful indiscretions of those that aren't "them".

“Prosecutors said nude photos of the 17-year-old were found on Morrissey’s cellphone and allegedly shared with a friend. Morrissey, a bachelor who has fathered three children out of wedlock with three different women...”

The Rats have a real winner there.

I haven’t read it yet. But based on the opening statement and title, I bet he is a democrat.

Am I right? What do I win?

(I’ll go read the article now)

If I ever had a sexual relationship with a 17 year old in my office I know that I would not have to worry about facing any criminal charges. I also know that my family would be well provided for by my life insurance policy.

In the immortal words of Dick Armey, I would be laying in a pool of my own blood, hearing my wife standing over me saying, "How do I reload this damn thing?"

ONLY a Democrat could win an election from jail.

....Especially being in jail for screwing a 17 year old girl.

(had it been a 17 year old boy he probably could have run for a higher office)
