Terry McAuliffe Seeks to Bring Some Much-Needed Insanity to Virginia Governor's Office

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

Let's face it, Virginia.  Your governor, Tim Kaine, is a little... well... sane.  I mean he's a really great guy.  He's done wonders for the state budget.  But why isn't he on MSNBC screaming at Chris Matthews?  Why isn't he on the Daily Show, bewildering the hell out of Jon Stewart?  Why isn't he riding a mechanical bull into the wee hours of the night?

Virginia, what you need is a healthy dose of Terry McAuliffe...

Former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe filed papers Monday necessary to run for governor in Virginia next year. McAuliffe established his campaign committee, Friends of Terry McAuliffe, with the State Board of Elections and will tour Virginia for the next 60 days before making his candidacy certain...

A native of upstate New York, McAuliffe, 51, has lived in Virginia for about 17 years. He lives in the Washington, D.C., suburb of McLean.

Interesting fact about McAuliffe:  He's not very good at winning elections.  The Democrats lost seats in Congress throughout his term as DNC Chair.  He couldn't get John Kerry into the Oval Office.  And his candidate for president lost her primary, although it's possible they haven't told that to Terry yet.

But you'd better believe he'll stir things up in Virginia.  Whether downing shots with Joe Scarborough or hosting visits from Pope Hillary Clinton, a Governor McAuliffe will make Tim Kaine seem as boring as his successor, Mark Warner.

Well, actually that's a bit harsh.  How about only as boring as a monotone recitation of The Iliad in the original Ancient Greek with pauses for the earth's crust to harden?

Virginia has shifted but not enough to elect a limousine liberal from McLean. Next.

Virginia Governor Tim Kaine Responds to Our Insults

POSTED BY: Dylan Ris

Last week, you read in this space that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine's freakish eyebrow would be the downfall of his vice presidential prospects, the Democratic Party, and humanity in general.

For those keeping score, we're one for three so far.

The story took a new turn last night, when Kaine appeared on the Daily Show and directly responded to our critique. He acknowledged his Quasimodo-like visage and presented Jon Stewart with an "arched eyebrow" pin to commemorate his failure as a VP contender.

On a personal note, this was a revelation. Having spent roughly 15 years trying to communicate my views to aloof politicians, I now only regret that I hadn’t mocked their collective appearance far, far sooner.

In hopes of extending the streak, I'll now officially submit that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin dresses far too conservatively for the American public.

You can thank me down the road for the yet-to-be-taped but surely imminent hottest. Daily Show. ever.
