Top Democrats and Gov. Terry McAuliffe have called for Morrissey to step down after his Alford plea to the charge that avoided a trial on felony counts stemming from his relationship with a 17-year-old girl who worked in his law office. He had faced up to 41 years in prison on the more serious charges.
“Right now there is a bit of a cloud, a taint over my seat. Folks from the governor’s office on down have called for my resignation. And I have given and have done everything that my detractors have said. ‘We want you to step down.’ So I’ll do that,"....

He just does not get that the House of Delegates, the VDP, and the Governor have called for his resignation because his behavior, as evidenced by his conviction )notwithstanding his assertion he was "framed") is considered repugnant and his continuing presence is an insult to the body of the House of Delegates.

"Let's let the voters decide"? The voters do not care if Joe contributed to the delinquency of a minor. They would not care if he was caught on tape raping Mother Teresa's corpse. With the Pope there as a [horrified and shocked, I hope] witness They care about Free Cheese and that Joe defended their relatives.

I hope that if Joe wins the special election the House of Delegates refuses to seat him and takes action to expel him. Sadly, my confidence in that is less than that they would have expelled him had he not decided to resign.

NOW - a trivia question: Since Joe was placed on Work Release so he could fulfil his legislative duties - will he be removed from that program effective the date of his resignation?

And a second trivia question - just how many comments and LTE about that do you think the Times Dispatch will allow before shutting them down?

stay safe.

Denial of work release would be nice, but not likely. Poppa Joe would probably ask for and get work release to work on his campaign and to perfect his "proof" that he was framed - just another sweetheart serving.

No orange jump suit either - wonder if his PJs have little hearts & bunnies on them.

I'm not so sure that the GA might not refuse to seat him - I still have a small measure of faith in the system.

Grab a rope and to the Bell Tower. Ring the bells, sound the alarm!

From the RTD, quoting 'tainted' Joe:
Right now there is a bit of a cloud, a taint over my seat.

Here is the kind of cloud hanging over his district, the kind of taint that Joe actually represents.

Sheriff: Morrissey charged with violating work release, must stay in jail

Sheriff's deputies said Del. Joe Morrissey (D-Henrico) violated the terms of his work release late Thursday, after he campaigned at an Eastern Henrico County shopping center.


Morrissey is now forced to remain in jail, until he is brought before a judge for an institutional hearing. According to the Henrico Sheriff's Office, Morrissey did not notify his supervisors of his intent to campaign at a supermarket near Richmond International Airport.

Morrissey handed in his notice of resignation effective Jan. 13, 2015, the date of an upcoming special election.

House of Delegates Speaker William J. Howell (R-Stafford) railed against Morrissey's decision to seek the seat in the special election, calling it "deceitful, selfish and disrespectful."

"This is a despicable, arrogant political stunt that should disgust each and every citizen of Virginia," Howell said in a statement. "The people of the 74th district deserve better than this and the obligation now rests with them to retire Mr. Morrissey permanently."

If that ain't a case of someone "screwing up a wet dream" I don't know what is! Didn't take him long to ruin a good favor.

Did you all know that ...

Henrico County Circuit Court records can now be accessed online, ending the county’s distinction as the lone locality in the state without the service.

Well! Take a look now, type in 'Morrissey' and see what trouble Joe has been in over the years.

Now we know.

Purely satirical, there is actually no truth in the 'rumor' that 11th & 12th grade math students have added their own brand of graffiti to his office building
