It seems Steve Shannon's aimless and anemic campaign for attorney general continues to get mired down in low energy and blantant lies that aren't even clever. They are lies that anyone who draws breath knows are lies. Anyways, this new one comes from Shannon's supposed backyard, the Commonwealth's Attorney Service Council. Shannon now claims he supports the special session to fix the Melendez-Diaz aftermath (previously derided as a "political stunt" before he was bitch-slapped by his own governor), and said Cuccinelli had previously not supported a bill to hire more lab techs. Another lie. But maybe poor Smilin' Steve is thinking about some House bill that Ken didn't vote on because, you know, he serves in the Senate. It happens, Steve. It happens.
Do you want to know how bad Steve Shannon is as a candidate? Only a Democrat this bad could allow Ken Cuccinelli to put out a statement like this and it be the truth.
Senator Cuccinelli stated: "After initially calling my proposal a 'political stunt,' it is good to see that my opponent has reversed course and endorsed the proposal that I and Governor Tim Kaine bipartisanly agreed would be the best way to proceed in addressing the Melendez issue. It's too bad that he didn't show the leadership to initially stand with me and call for a special session.
Steve Shannon: So Bad Ken Cuccinelli and Tim Kaine Agree!
Pwned!!!!

It seems that Ken Cuccinelli [sorry if I spelled his name wrong, I lose track of the letters] is more eager to work on the Melendez issue than either Steve Shannon or Creigh Deeds or really any of the Democrats. KC4AG is starting to sound good to me for the first time. I prefer a prosecutor. But Steve Shannon is a former prosecutor who doesn't seem to want to do the job here. So I'll take Mr. Patents over Mr. Patently Unwilling to Address Real Issues.
