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.

When that pubbie VA governor was convicted, the article I read didn't reveal he was a Republican until paragraph #3.

I was counting them to see what the party affiliation was. Pretty sad that journalism has come to that. I blame Nixon's enemies for the rot of that trade.

He describes what he’s going through as a “wrestling match.” Interesting description of a sex case.

So the voters in that district feel he represents their interests. Hmmmmm.....

Convictions and jail are Democrat resume enhancers.
Imprisoned former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin will become popular again with liberals when freed. Just like DC’s Marion Berry.

If you have never read it - I suggest “Armey’s Axioms”.
It is a book of items like that, each with some narrative
(some short, some longer).
Pretty good read.
He had GREAT quips.

Not bad for a Dem. In Hudson County NJ where I was born and raised the Dems never lost an election as long as there were cemeteries.

He’ll rise rapidly within the ranks of the democrat party.

Sounds like a democrat to me, Seriously Democratic voters will vote for anyone no matter what they do as long as they hold the Democratic label.

Talk about party of the useful idiot.

[matginzac]

Yah, could be a RI politician!

[prairiebreeze]

Pathetic from the voters, even from a RAT stronghold

That’s a positive on a Democrat resume.
