Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has received more than $7,000 worth of gifts since he took office in January 2015, mostly modest trinkets and items from well-wishers after the governor made his cancer diagnosis public.
The gifts range from a $1 Livestrong bracelet to a $500 membership at Baltimore’s posh members-only Center Club, according to a filing with the State Ethics Commission. Hogan even reported two rosaries blessed at the Vatican, given to him and his wife by Pope Francis in Washington.
The disclosure also shows the outpouring of support for the governor after he announced in June that he had late Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
In addition to receiving thousands of letters, the governor reported receiving prayer shawls, a “miracle tie,” a handmade chemotherapy hat and at least a dozen books about dealing with cancer (some hawking questionable cures). Hogan’s cancer is in remission, and doctors are monitoring his condition.

No guac bowl?
Isn’t McDonnell serving time for the same thing?
Jeb’s clock must be very clean.
Well played.
Thee Washington Post headline makes it sound sinister.
The article contradicts that.
I pray Trump doesn’t get duped into selecting Jeb as VP.

Well, Jeb’s clock ought to be clean.................he got it cleaned just recently..................
GMTA!...........................
Jeb can be Secretary of Energy.
Pretty much. If Hogan looked like a national player, he’d probably be in trouble with the Feds.
LOL.
The last person Mr. Trump wants (or needs) is MISTER LOW ENERGY!
When asked what he would do with his winning World Series share in 1969, Tug authored this immortal phrase: "I'll spend most of it on wine, women and song. The rest, I'll probably piss away."
Still concerned with Bush Machine dirty tricks, and Florida being a battleground state.

Reince: Even VP Nomination Could Be Contested
Weekly Standard ^ | April 1, 2016 | Jim Swift
GRETA: The convention. Tell us for planning purposes. If it is a “open/brokered/contested” convention, will it last longer than we expect?
PRIEBUS: No.
GRETA: It's gonna just be those days?
PRIEBUS. That's right.
GRETA: You think it's gonna be put to bed?
PRIEBUS: We will put whatever systems in place, we will have meetings however long we need to have them... In order to make sure that we not only have a nominee both for president, and remember, there's a separate vote for vice president... as well that no one’s talking about that. But there's another vote for vice president... And then on Wednesday and Thursday we're gonna have a program. And there's going to be a convention, with, uh, obviously, our nominee to be concluded on Thursday night.”
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

From second link:
Blumberg called it a contemporary historical novel, and it centered on his belief that Neil Bush - son of President George H.W. Bush - and his wife Sharon were co-conspirators in John Hinckley's attempt to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
George Bush was vice president at the time, and would have become president if Reagan had been killed. Blumberg based his belief in part on reports that Hinckley's brother Scott knew Neil Bush - indeed, that they were scheduled to have dinner together the night after the assassination attempt - and that the media covered it up.
Thanks, Maggie.
I suspect that will be Sarah Palin.
As a kid in the 60’s and Mets fans we used to watch Tug McGraw pitch— he was a character too.
“When asked what he would do with his winning World Series share in 1969, Tug authored this immortal phrase: “I’ll spend most of it on wine, women and song. The rest, I’ll probably piss away.”
When making his first appearance in the Houston Astrodome, he was asked what he thought about artificial grass. Tug’s response - “I don’t know - I never smoked the stuff”.
I heard that is the reason that Hogan put out the list and I guess will update it periodically, just to avoid the sort of problem McDonnell has.
Never knew about Neil Bush and Hinckley.
