McDonnell markets Virginia across the pond
(Gov. Bob McDonnell; His Royal Highness Prince Andrew, Duke of York; and, President and CEO of Rolls-Royce North America Jim Guyette review the Band of the Irish Guards at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London on Tuesday.

Virginia reporters won't hear from Gov. McDonnell about how productive his ongoing trade mission to Europe has been until a scheduled Thursday afternoon conference call with the press corps.
In the meantime, we've got the brief visual dispatch above.

the hypocrisy
The hypocrisy of the right grows by leaps and bounds on a daily basis, and they think they should be taken seriously.
Virginia wants reimbursement!
Ok, who OK'd this boondoggle? Governor Bob, we want our money back!
Wingnuttia!! Here's your chance at consistency.
I've made it easy too. Just copy your earlier posts below & change WEBB to MCDONNELL.

We need you here; mind the affairs you were elected to "mind".
Not enough to do here in VA & the US?
Resign because we need leaders who are paying attention to the MESS here
HOW ABOUT

returning to VIRGINIA - you know, the state that you supposedly represent? and help the citizens you supposedly represent.....charity begins AT HOME.....and you can save a lot of taxpayer money by DRIVING from D.C. to Virginia....right over the line.....instead of using all that jet fuel.

He should be staying home and fixing America....not some two-bit dictatorship. There's sufficient problems here to keep him busy
LUCKY MR WEBB

He gets to go on a boondoggle at taxpayer expense
I Am Thinking..
The silence will be deafening on this one TR. There are few if any political positions/ideologies with any integrity. Double standards abound all over the place.
