You know, we've been at this RaisingKaine thing for 8 months now, and we've collected a whole bunch of great material on Jerry Kilgore. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to condense all the reasons NOT to vote for Jerry Kilgore into an easy-to-read "Top 25" list. But then I thought, that's too many in one shot. So, instead, I'll list a reason per day for the next 24 days, counting down -- David Letterman style - to #1 in early October. Anyway, here's #25!P.S. RaisingKaine reserves the right to add items to this countdown, assuming that Jerry Kilgore keeps saying and doing dumb shit.
2) Kilgore recently was subpoenaed in connection with a political eavesdropping scandal . The scandal involves the illegal monitoring -- by members of Kilgore's own Attorney Generals' office -- of calls made by top Democrats, including Governor Mark Warner. There are two possiblities here. #1: Jerry Kilgore was heavily implicated in this scandal involving his own office, in which case he's a crook. #2: Jerry Kilgore didn't have a clue what was going on his office, in which case he's incompetent. As is usual with right-wing Republicans, Kilgore claims possibility #2: that he didn't have any idea what was going on in his own office. Just the kind of guy we want as governor, huh?
