  • Washington Post Editorial Board Still In Denial Over McDonnell’s Election

    Number of comments: 1
    Seems that the WashPo editorial board just can’t get over Bob McDonnell’s landslide election two weeks ago.  Today’s top editorial once again sought to tie Gov.-elect McDonnell to Pat Robertson and the comments that he recently made about Islam. Funny, I don’t remember them running editorials like this demanding that The [...]
