Well, they both kind of deserved that verdict based on their actions.

I'm wondering how they found Bob guilty on all the counts, but Maureen guilty on only nine... That doesn't quite add up to me.

Also, I'm assuming this helps Senator Warner (If he needs it, that is) in his re-election bid.

I misread the thread title as "McDonald's found guilty".

Future generations will find Bob McDonnell smiling back at them when they look up "fall from grace" in the dictionary.

I thought it was Bill Clinton's embezzlement partners on first reading.

the amazing thing is that apparently it was perfectly legal within Virginia state law, to receive $150k in bribes gifts

I'm thinking that it's all about the wording on the tax form.  Probably calling it a "gift" is a safer bet than calling it a bribe.

Of course. I hate to see this. He was generally a good governor and I liked him a lot. He's less likeable now than he used to be of course, and it's quite possible this was the right verdict under the law, but anyway it's sad.

I can't wait to read Politico's take on how this is good news for Ed Gillespie.

What did it do to his hair? He stopped coloring it. You can tell in the second picture, that's a dye job.

They do have substantial appeal grounds, so this might not be the final chapter. That said, what pbrower said.
