Statement on office lapel pin from Attorney General Cuccinelli

 

 

RICHMOND (May 1, 2010) -- Statement from Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli on his office lapel pin:

 

"The seal on my pin is one of many seal variations that were used before a uniform version was created in 1930.  I felt it was historic and would be something unique for my staff.  My joke about Virtue being a little more virtuous in her more modest clothing was intended to get laughs from my employees -- which it did!  Just because we've always done something a certain way doesn't mean we always have to continue doing it that way.  Now seriously, can we get on with real news?"

---------------

A few thoughts:

1)  Oh My God.  Is that a boob on the Attorney General's letterhead?  I'm shocked, is no one looking to keep this filth away from children?  :-)

2)  You might be wondering why Cooch responded so late on a Saturday night.  Might be the 47,000 tweets on this today, the 10,000+ blog comments (including 2,365 entertaining ones here), or the almost 6,000 votes on this issue on the Pilot website (with 96% disagreeing with Cooch).

3)  The WaPo needs to sit down and talk with their Virginia reporters.  They have a pattern of completely ignoring any story- no matter how big it gets- if they didn't get it first.  That's pathetic.  Kudos to the Virginian Pilot and Julian Walker.

4) Yes, Ken really did say "Just because we've always done something a certain way doesn't mean we always have to continue doing it that way."  Funny, I could have sworn that is the exact opposite of his rationale for the health care lawsuit.

5)  The reason this got so out of control is because Ken is becoming a parody of himself.  He thinks he is exciting the base, but really he is going to find out that he has destroyed his political career.  Best analogy to what's going on here is Phill Kline, the former AG in Kansas who sued abortion clinics and eventually lost his job in the most GOP state in the country because he was becoming such a joke.

Join the Friends of the Great Seal of Virginia Facebook Group, our Attorney General is an elected official, not a king. Down with Tyranny!

I'm thinkin' that Ken Cuccinelli is actually gay and seeing a woman's breat is troubling to him.

I'm using Safari which sometimes has issues with certain scripts.

It's the image right above:

"COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA
Office of the Attorney General"

It has a box with the infamous Safari "?".

It's a red X for me, too. I'm using Explorer. I assume it's a gif of the seal.

Yeah that's what it is. Sorry guys. I'll upload it differently next time.
