I’m sorry. My computer is misbehaving and I couldn’t copy and paste the article. It’s worth reading, however. Especially the part about how Mrs. McDonnell planned to try to sell some unapproved diet supplement that her benefactor made to Ann Romney to “cure” her MS! Creepy.
Politics is like a pond. The scum rises to the top.
This might REALLY sound insane, but has anyone ever considered that the McDonnells actually believed in the product? That would explain why they acted so brazen (they didn’t FEEL dirty), why she hit up Anne Romney (honestly trying to help), why if previous governors did it it might be so easy for them to disregard what would be obvious ethical problems...
It’s that so many people...including personal friends of mine... who knew them were so impressed with how earnest they seemed.
