Defense of McDonnell was unwarranted, she writes

The hysterical defense of Gov. McDonnell only illustrates what is wrong with people today.

There are too many unreasoning folk (on both sides) who will twist logic and good sense to defend their Tin Idol no matter what they do and will always use that same clouded reasoning to target whatever their “enemy” does.

Their Tin God walks on water and anyone who opposes them has sinister ulterior motives. They refuse to step back and take a second look .. relying instead on knee jerk attacks against perceived threats to their often skewed world view.

Governor McDonald illustrated yet again how the power elite views western Virginia . . . since the earliest days of settlement. He should have gone to Pulaski sooner.

He whipped right out for the cameras when Tidewater got hit.

About this blog

    Metro Columnist Dan Casey knows a little bit about a lot of things but not a heck of a lot about most things. That doesn't keep him from writing about them, however. So keep him honest!

    He welcomes your rants, raves and considered opinions, so long as the language is civil (i.e. no four-letter words). He'll read all your posts and may or may not respond.
