In an effort to remain fair and bipartisan, I will now make a number of personal attacks against the three main contenders for Governor.
The VA Veterans of Foreign Wars has put the three candidates online with web camera interviews. You can watch them side by side.
Tim Kaine
There's something about Tim Kaine that makes you want to check your sales receipt for discrepancies. And what's with that Spock-eybrow thing he's doing? If he seriously wants the geek-vote, he needs to add the ears as well. Without them, he looks too much like Mr. Ed.
At least he's on a first-name basis with the current Governor. Unless he's referring to Mark in accounting who rocks at Half Life 2.
Russ Potts
Looks like Grandpa has gotten into the cooking sherry again. Did you catch that he's the only veteran running? Could you figure out why that would matter?
Jerry Kilgore
A question that has been running through the Virginia blogging community has been whether or not Kilgore is gay. I think this entire fixation is a waste of time. Of course he's gay. Duh. Have you heard him talk? Has anyone talked like that and not been gay? He tries to pretend that his West Virginia accent is to blame, but I know several folks from West Virginia, and the only ones with that particular accent are the gay ones. Plus he's skinny. How much evidence is needed?
Is this a problem. Nope. It might even be a little funny. Especially if he makes it as far as President. Gunboat Diplomacy would become entertaining again. Can you picture Kilgore talking tough on behalf of the entire Free World? Terrorists would be too busy giggling.
In fact, to get an idea of the possibilities, watch the Opening Statement, and tell me he didn't just say, "I want to service your Governor. " In like Flynn, bay-bee.
In closing, I'd like to remind everyone that none of these concerns has anything to do with being a good Governor. It's just how I start my morning.

you made the cooking sherry shoot right out of my nose... muy astuto, Señor Pundito! However you may be underestimating Russ Potts; he might be the only one of these three with suffucient sense to hang VITA out to dry, if only someone would bother to elucidate its problems for him; in fact nobody seems to have bothered to alert anyone with actual influence to the jaw-dropping Wrongess of it all.
anyway, thanks for making my morning, you clever thing!
yours,
just another anonymous despairing drone in Richmond
Feel free to send these blog entries to anyone who would benefit by them. It's hard being heard when you're in a crowd, but someone needs to tell the emperor that he's nekkid!
