Former Virginia Gov. "Blowdry Bob" McDonnell:
The corruption trial against former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, is set to go to trial this summer after a judge tossed out a motion to dismiss most of the charges against the couple.
U.S. District Judge James R. Spencer also ruled Tuesday that the former first couple should be tried together rather than apart.Blowdry Bob's fall from potential Republican presidential hopeful to defendant in the dock has been breathtaking. And quite satisfying.
Crackpot fabulist, family values man, and conspiracy film maker Dinesh D'Souza:
Conservative writer Dinesh D'Souza has pleaded guilty to charges that he asked two associates to donate $10,000 to the Senate campaign of New York Republican Wendy Long, then illegally reimbursed them. D'Souza has also agreed not to contest any prison term between 10 and 16 months, though he won't be sentenced until Sept. 23...If he does jail time, you can bet D'Souza will be among the sleaziest inmates no matter where he's sent. Should he receive prison time, a complimentary Hackwhackers Soap-On-A-Rope will be on its way to D'Souza for those communal prison showers.
