Well, Jason, Joe Biden didn’t even know that the Vice President is part of the legislative branch of our government.

Many Democratic Senators, in refusing to convict Clinton, said that his crimes “did not rise to the level of impeachment,” thus showing their ignorance of the Senate’s job in relation to that of the House of Representatives.

Why would you expect a mere state-level Democrat to know what his job is?

Here the problem:

By aiming to score political points, Steve Shannon has effectively recused himself from filling his potential role at Attorney General.

Virginia State Code § 30-116.3:

3. If the Panel determines that there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the legislator knowingly violated any provision of Article 2 (§ 30-102 et seq.), 3 (§ 30-104 et seq.), 4 (§ 30-107 et seq.) or 5 (§ 30-109 et seq.) of this chapter, except § 30-108 or subsection C of § 30-110, it shall refer the matter by a written report setting forth its findings and the reasons therefor to the Attorney General for such action he deems appropriate.

So he’s paying for an ad to show his fundamental lack of knowledge on the role of the AG. Awesome.

Hamilton is corrupt. cookinelli has made it clear through his own statements, it is ok to push his personal agenda through his elected office. An agenda involving personal finacial gain for himself, at taxpayer expense. Who realy knows what other [personal] gains cookinelli believes is ok.

25% of Virginians know about Hamilton. That’s just sad right there.

But in Southside, I’d say only 25% know who Steve Shannon is.
