Read a news blurb yesterday, which I now cannot find, that alleged that Mark Herring only came forward about his black face incident because someone told him there were photos from the party that included him.

He led the charge last week calling for the Governor to resign. But it sounds as if he was fully intending to keep his own sordid, racist past a secret. Nice that the state's top law enforcement official thought it would be a great subject for a cover up.

Virtue signaling hypocrisy at its worst.

And he apparently has no intention of resigning.

Minor thread veer, but I saw this morning that the loudmouthed Joy Behar had a picture surface of her dressed as a black woman for Halloween. Seems like a lot of these, "How dare you!?! Resign!" people need to go back and double check their own history.

Does that make 5 now? It's hard to keep up with this feeding frenzy.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Rush called it. They were digging like mad to find something, ANYTHING on a Virginia Republican to try to take the heat of the Democrats. I'm not the least bit surprised they found something.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

1968 yearbook? My dad worked in DC in the 60s, often installing metal security bars on stores whilst the riots were in full swing. Racial division was front and center.

I was nine in 1984, in complete hick backwoods Virginia. We had three black kids in class, nobody acted like that and we all tried to dance like Michael, no shoe polish required. A bit of a different time.

Also, the whole thing where Bobby Scott knew last year. Okay fine. I lived in Bobby's district for ten years. Big deal. I assure you that he can give the heads off kittens on live TV and he will get reelected. He has the minority vote and he also has the sense to keep the money faucet turned heavy on the shipyards and bases.

... which, in all likelihood, would still be an improvement.

We Livestream two dumpsters, one red, one blue. Whichever one doesn't burst into flames is the governor. No, not a team red or blue rep, the dumpster.

Now he's saying that can't be him in the photo because the people in the photo are holding their beers with their right hand and he's left handed.

But

Quote
It gets worse for the governor. Here he is signing legislation with his right hand:

Nice try there gov. Did he really think no one would notice?
BTW: I'm left handed but I hold drinks with either hand depending on what I'm doing at the time.

Ralph Northam says it’s not him in the blackface/KKK photo because they’re holding beers in their right hands and he’s left-handed. Photos suggest this excuse is total BS

Well some of the left is consistent at least.  There is some howling for the LTGov's head. 
So far we have
Gov in racist photos (D)
Lt Gov is rapist (D)
AG in racist photos (D)
Ranking state republican edited the yearbook with racist photos of Gov in them.

I think the biggest reason they're taking the charges against the Lt. Gov so seriously at this point is to set an example for removing  Kavanaugh from office
