One has to wonder if Virginia could have intentionally elected anyone more damaging to the state's image. Other than perhaps an active Klan member, it seems unlikely. Crooks and Liars has a compilation of Cooch's indicators that he lives a life utterly untethered from objective reality. And Bob McDonnell dreams of attracting first rate, progressive businesses to Virginia? It seems Cooch is hell bent to frighten them - and perhaps even some current state residents - away with his uncontrolled lunacy. The compilation is complete with video clips showing Cooch's verbal diarrhea, so as much as he may subsequently try to deny his statements, the clips speak for themselves. Here are highlights on the world according to Cuccinelli:*
Virginia AG Ken Cuccinelli has been in the news a lot lately. You may have heard about the letter he wrote earlier this month to all of Virginia’s public colleges – UVA, VA Tech, William and Mary, etc. calling on them to drop policies banning discrimination against gays and lesbians. He claims they have no legal authority to adopt such policies.
*
Or maybe you heard Cuccinelli speculate about whether President Obama was born in the United States. In this recently unearthed recording from the campaign trail, Cuccinelli can be heard telling a birther that he might be able to challenge federal laws on the basis of Obama’s birth place.
*
In another recently unearthed recording, Cuccinelli told a crowd that he’s worried about the government tracking his family. He said he might not register his newborn son for a Social Security number because "it is being used to track you." He also claimed that many other Americans aren’t registering for Social Security numbers for the same reason.
*
Cuccinelli’s hard line against gays, paranoia about the Social Security Administration, and openness to birther conspiracies prove that he is the real deal – a bona fide Teabagger of the highest order. And now he’s the chief legal officer of an entire state.

For anyone wondering what a Tea Party-controlled GOP might look like, keep your eyes on Virginia.
