Texas AG Abbott Hosts VA Republican Known As “Taliban Bob”
We couldn’t make this stuff up…
Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott today played host to his Virginia counterpart, Bob McDonnell, during a fundraising reception at the Austin Club, where the two dragged the sack for McDonnell’s long-shot gubernatorial bid.
Lobbyists around town had been receiving phone calls from Abbott’s 20-something chief of staff in recent days, wondering why they were being encouraged to write corporate checks, a no-no in Texas but perfectly legal in the Commonwealth.
Abott’s pal is a graduate of Pat Robertson’s fundamentalist Regent University and known as “Taliban Bob” for his far-right family values crusades, especially public criticism of a popular circuit judge whom he called “unfit for reappointment to the bench” because he suspected her of being a lesbian.
When asked if he himself had ever violated the Commonwealth’s “crimes against nature” law, McDonnell reportedly replied: “Not that I can recall.”

Not surprising, all these sex-obsessed radicals stick together. What really troubles me is that the AG’s chief of staff is only in his/her 20s.
