Terry McAuliffe ‘I am not going to read every bill when I’m governor. I’m going to hire people to read them for me.’
Sounds great.
Guess we'll get abominations like the Patriot Act and ObamCare on the state level because some of us are too busy to perform their assignments.
“I’m an Irish Catholic. I like to drink. It is what is. We’ll go have lunch. We’ll go have drinks. We’ll work the phones. We’ll do whatever it takes to get things done," he said, according to two NVTC officials present at the interview, including one who supports Cuccinelli and one who has not taken a position.
Some were astonished, although one of the officials said others interpreted it as McAuliffe’s way of trying to illustrate how he would work across partisan lines with anyone to cut a deal.
McAuliffe also had nice things to say about Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) during his interview, but he added that he thought McDonnell was more involved in the nitty-gritty of each piece of legislation that McAuliffe would be if he were elected.
“Terry said, ‘I am not going to read every bill when I’m governor. I’m going to hire people to read them for me.’ It was an astonishing statement,” a board member said, quoting McAuliffe from memory.
Another official also recalled those words but interpreted it as McAuliffe’s way of trying to give the members an idea of his governing style.

I know Cuccinelli is one prude motherfucker, but seriously- abortion is not going anywhere and McAuliffe is from the slicky boy criminal wing of the Democrat Party.
