A former Virginia Democratic lawmaker who became a pariah in the state legislature after a sex scandal involving a teenage receptionist has announced that he plans to marry the woman, a day after he acknowledged fathering her 9-week-old baby.
Joseph D. Morrissey, 57, told a news conference on Thursday that the woman, Myrna Pride, gave birth to their baby about a week before she turned 19. She is still employed at his law office, he said.

Morrissey also said that he was father to a total of four children born out of wedlock with different women.
Last December, Morrissey, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for his relationship with Pride. The sentence was later reduced to a 90 days in work release.

I know that some of you bad old Freepers are wondering if I married the broad in order to keep her quiet ... and because a wife can't testify against her husband ... but you need to realize that I took lessons about the sanctity of marriage from that other paragon of Democrat virtue, John Edwards ... and I intend to honor our sacred vows ... this time ... and I will keep her happy despite our 40 year age differential!
We poke fun, but actually we are all jealous of this sucker. Kinda. Sorta.
57? Has he been married before and what led to the breakup of that marriage?
And he is STILL IN OFFICE!
How diverse of him...
“former Democratic Virginia lawmaker”
Real life movie: “The Help.”
Thanks for the pics. I had the opposite color scheme in mind.
Assuming the above picture is of him and his blushing bride, we have an obviously mentally disturbed old white guy marrying a teenaged black whore. Anybody who is "kinda/sorta" jealous of this is in as dire need of psychological help as the reprobates in the pic.
Good time to put that canard to rest.
Wife cannot be compelled to testify against her husband.
Looks like al-Reuters is playing fast and loose with facts. Sources all list him as a current office-holder, and he just got out of jail!
Just my own personal creed—’don’t marry anyone old enough to be your mother or young enough to be your daughter’. Absolutely never with one of the same genitalia, ehehehe.
4 kids out of wedlock. I’m sure this will be a lasting marriage. LOL
This guy can’t keep his junk in his pants.
He's triple her age, a serial cheater, and she works for him. I'm sure this time he's taking his vows seriously. Congratulations to the blushing bride who bagged such a great catch.
“This guy can’t keep his junk in his pants.”
It’s basically the liberal manifesto...It’s their creed that they live by, everything is measured by your sex organs and where you put them.
From the article: Morrissey stunned political pundits by winning re-election to his House of Delegates seat in a special election in January, while he was serving his sentence. Under the work-release program, he had been to able to leave jail during the day and he made campaign calls from his law office.
Democrats don’t care about morals....this guy is just one of them and perfectly electable!!!
Uh, no we are not.
The account of this in the Atlanta newspaper managed to avoid mentioning his political party altogether.
