Always good copy, U.S. Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.) likened the Republican ticket in Virginia this year to Afghanistan's radical Taliban movement in comments broadcast Sunday by WAMU radio.
At a get-out-the-vote rally in Fairfax County, Moran said: "I mean, if the Republicans were running in Afghanistan, they'd be running on the Taliban ticket as far as I can see."
Moran was talking about Republicans Robert F. McDonnell for governor, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and state Sen. Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, who is running for attorney general. By some accounts, the three represent the most conservative Republican ticket to run in Virginia in many years. Moran's comments clearly were aimed to motivate Democratic voters to turn out on Tuesday and vote blue.
According to WAMU, McDonnell spokeswoman Crystal Cameron called Moran's remarks "negative" and "vicious." She also said Moran was seeking to rally voters who are unexcited by their own candidates, Democrats R. Creigh Deeds for governor, Jody Wagner for lieutenant governor and Stephen C. Shannon for attorney general.
"Creigh has had a very difficult time rallying his base," Cameron said, "and they're trying to do anything they can to get out the vote on their side."
This is not the first time McDonnell has been compared to the Taliban; in 2003, a liberal columnist for the Daily Press of Newport News dubbed him "Taliban Bob" for his role in ousting a female Circuit Court judge who had been accused by another woman of sexual harassment.

This is rich coming from the Moron, who is currently under investigation for receiving contributions from recipients of his government funding earmarks.
Trying to rewrite history? Afraid of the coming tide? Keep it up. Hey, let’s hear more of that nutcase from Flordia. We’re here, we’re informed, and we are your worst nightmare. (ohh, good new tag)
Correct. More blab than brains.
The ramblings of a violent, nasty drunk.
....and the more they talk or ramble on the less credible they sound...
Wife beaters for Moran
s/b Jim Moron...damnded spellcheck!
I see the dimwits are still trying to matter.
His name could be spelled “moron”.
Moran’s being investigated by the House Ethics Committee. He’s had conflict of interest problems going back to the days when he was a City Council member.
Why is our Democratic Administration negotiating with the Taliban? It was the Taliban who made 9/11 possible. Will the Democrats fight for anything? I know Congressman Moran is always willing to fight people on a personal level, but that doesn’t help protect this country’s citizens - or other country’s citizens, for that matter.
Goodness, doesn’t he have some little Black children to go choke ?
