How low has Virginia become....sad.

How do we know for certain that Governor Northam even knew of the yearbook photo's existence at the time it was published?

I hope they both stay.

Exactly. I never saw a yearbook for either my undergrad or graduate school. That is totally believable to me. Especially since he went directly into the military and had duties there. This is not like high school where you all sign each other's yearbooks, right? I didn't even know a yearbook existed past high school.

According to one of the yearbook's editors, each person submitted the photos for their own pages.

Do you have a link for that?

Also, that does not mean he submitted that. The people on my high school yearbook committee put in things without any permissions (including words under pictures).

I saw on the news this AM that he was on military duty and didn’t submit his own page or see it after.

It’s pretty clear this is just another Al Franken-ing. It’s rat hugging.

Here is the thread. It's pretty funny:

Jeff,

That's hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

Northam should have realized no one can see under a KKK hood, and categorically denied he was in the picture. He could have brazened that out.

Now he’s going to have to destroy Fairfax. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the betrayal Northam pulled with the abortion stunt last week. But Fairfax would be ten times worse. The last thing we need is an unelected Governor getting three years and THEN run for re-election. That’s completely unfair.

Smartest thing Northam can do now is throw his organization’s weight behind anyone peddling allegations against Fairfax. If he can submarine Fairfax, then it would be a Republican speaker who would elevate to Governor.

That’s a win-win. Either Northam and Fairfax are punching bags to smear all Democrat candidates. Or we get our man into the Governor’s mansion as a hedge against losing either one or both houses of the General Assembly.

We should hold our nose and secretly ally with Northam to own the Democrats, as “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

What are you blathering about? The next in line of succession is the Attorney General who is a Democrat.

What if this is some House of Cards master plan and that blog also has something on Herring is waiting for Northam and Fairfax to be out to publish it.

I’m surprised that he became a pediatrician. Usually guys like that in my medical school did not go into peds. Pediatricians are usually the most ethical doctors.

Yep. I’m pretty sure the Dems are getting HAD right now. Our extreme righteousness is a weakness, and it’s making us vulnerable, not stronger. Something to think about.

Maybe the page was submitted by Republicans in order to sabotage him later!

Eh, once Trump, Kavanaugh, Miller, and McConnell resign, we can talk about the Virginia governor resigning. I mean, they all said it's about what they are doing right now, not what they did even a couple years ago or more, right?

Republicans jumped off the ethics bus a long time ago.

They're all politicians. It would be like comparing Hillary's ethics vs Trump's. A trip to nowhere.
