Newly Elected Virginia Senator Had Been Jailed for Having Sex with Teenager
[PJ] In 2014, Joe Morrissey, then a 57-year-old delegate to the Virginia General Assembly, plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and was sentenced to 12 months in jail (with six months suspended) because of a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old office assistant at his law firm.

On Tuesday, he won his election to the Virginia Senate. I'll give you one guess what his political affiliation is.

That's right, he's a Democrat. And he won his election with more than 60 percent of the vote.

#1 An obvious democratic pre-qualification for public office.

#2 Did the MSM mention this?

Was the 17year old the same sex?

#3 ^ Nope, a girl. Article eventually lets on that the hapless couple later married and have three kids.

Must have been a winning message with the Donks in Virginia.

#7 A colorful man, according to Wikipedia. The episode with his intern is only one of the reasons he’s been jailed; he’s been disbarred twice, so clearly he put effort into it; and, he has six children, only three by this woman, whose firstborn he denied until recently that he’d fathered.

#9 Thanks awfully for that Wikipedia article (which I inexplicably didn't look up last night... must've been zonked). Favorite part might be "The Adventure of the Sub-par Subpoena." National Slavery Museum? What's DC, then?
