This sounds like SOP in our modern, corrupt political age - actually small spuds compared to the Clintons.

Do you know of a poor politician?

Jan 05, 2012 (a trip down presidential primary lane...):”The quotes in today’s Washington Post by Governor McDonnell lambasting the campaigns of Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum for their failure to get 10,000 signatures seem to be quite out of character. First of all, the issue is the right of his constituents to vote, not the incompetence of the campaigns. The Governor has never acknowledged this aspect of the situation. Even one admits the current situation denies Republicans what should be their right to vote for the candidate of their choice. This doesn’t mean a federal judge will find for the plaintiffs. That’s a legal issue.

But in terms of the politics around the country, attacking your fellow Republicans as incompetent and saying the failure questions their presidential abilities, seems to be a curious political equation for some who wants to be VEEP. Moreover, Romney’s petitions were never counted, that is never going to sell nationally to a lot of people, all of whom will have delegates at the GOP national convention Bad optics really, plus you have the GOP “loyalty” oath issue, clearly aimed at Ron Paul supporters.......................”

Poor politician meaning inept and stupid? In the criminal realm MacDonald has the ranking of stickup man.

This sounds like McDonnell married Marie Antoinette.

Jeb Bush had a similar problem with his wife.

I suspect if we got an accounting of the bills Michelle Obama rang up, it would be appalling.

Maybe it is time for a never married president.
