“I can’t stand that my state continually elects this vile.”

Maybe that part of the electorate which continually elects him likes what he’s about.

I finally figured this old photo out.

[Alas Babylon!]

Don’t worry about it.

Moron’s district may be physically within your state, but mentally and culturally it is East DC/Maryland.

That’s not Virginia’s fault, except they never should have taken it back during Retrocession.

Please be accurate!
He’s a drunken racist pig!

District 8 includes most of Arlington as well as Alexandria. Comfortably ensconced within Planet Beltway. Everybody here lives off the government teat in one fashion or another.

Unless they have a lot of suffering family and friends elsewhere they are comfortably insulated from what things are like in the rest of the country.

UPDATE: PMA Group founder sentenced

January 8, 2011

Paul Magliocchetti, the founder of the infamous PMA Group lobbyist organization which is Jim Moran’s top all-time donor, was sentenced yesterday to 27 months in prison for illegally donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to congressmen in exchange for earmarks for his clients.

RetireJimMoran.com has reported extensively on Moran’s ties to Magliocchetti and PMA Group. PMA Group’s offices were raided by the FBI in November 2008 on suspicion of their “pay-to-play” schemes, and the group ceased to exist in March 2009. Magliocchetti used “straw donors” — employees, friends, lobbyists, and family members — to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars to select members of Congress. In exchange, the members secured millions of dollars worth of earmarks for PMA’s clients.
Moran, as a member of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, was one of these select members, receiving $177,700 in campaign contributions from PMA Group and its straw donors since he first ran in 1990.

Sentencing guidelines called for Magliocchetti to be imprisoned 46-57 months, but he received a shorter sentence due to early stages of mental impairment that would be aggravated in prison.

Moran and the other members with ties to PMA were cleared of wrongdoing by the House Ethics Committee, but the Office of Congressional Ethics, a non-partisan watchdog made up of non-members of Congress, called for the Department of Justice to start a criminal investigation.
