Defenders can’t blame Bob McDonnell’s wife anymore

From Robert McCarthy, Washington Post:

"Bob McDonnell and his dwindling band of apologists have offered two main excuses, one public and one private, to justify the Virginia governor’s acceptance of so many gifts and loans from a friendly businessman.

The public argument is, “Everybody’s done it.” An additional one, coming privately from some supporters, has been, “His wife made him do it.”"



Whole column here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/defenders-cant-blame-bob-mcdonnells-wife-anymore/2013/07/13/25d9861a-eb45-11e2-8023-b7f07811d98e_story.html

I do discharge with McCarthy on this: "McDonnell’s sole, slim chance at redemption now is to make a full confession, return all the money and appeal to the public for forgiveness. He’s run out of excuses."

I think McDonnell and his political twin, Ken Cuccinelli should go to jail.

I thought Christian women were suppose to be submissive and obedient to their husbands.
