More on Wardrup

Kudos to the Virginian-Pilot for the second good editorial in as many days. Are there some new members of the editorial staff? Today’s version focuses on Leo Wardrup (R-83rd) and his invocation of legislative privilege at a traffic stop, which Wardrup denies. The editorial writer didn’t buy Wardrup’s version of events:

To accept Wardrup’s version, Virginians must believe that the discussion of legislative privilege, in the middle of an intersection after dark and in the rain, was in the nature of a civics lesson. That’s preposterous.

Former Delegate Billy Robinson took a lot of heat for invoking legislative privilege. One would think that his colleagues would have learned a valuable lesson on the subject.
