YES, IT CAN HAPPEN HERE...

I used to think something like this couldn't happen in a state as advanced as Virginia.

At this point, the list of Cuccinelli's excesses is getting pretty long. Virginia's AG has, after all, been palling around with radicals, recently considered a literacy test for some Virginians wishing to vote, questioned President Obama's citizenship, rescinded legal protections for gays at Virginia universities, argued publicly that it doesn't cost the public any money when he and his office work on a frivolous lawsuit, launched a bizarre climate change witch hunt, and, of course temporarily added a modesty shield to Virginia's great seal.
