Governor-Elect: ‘It’s Got A Small C, Big D, And Double N’s And L’s’
Bob McDonnell was elected governor of Virginia yesterday, and said last night that he would work hard to create jobs and improve transportation, while emphasizing repeatedly that his last name is spelled with a small C, a big D, two N’s and two L’s.
“Thank you for putting your trust in me to lead our Commonwealth in these rocky times, and know that I look forward to solving the problems that face us and creating new opportunities for all Virginians,” McDonel said, turning and pointing to a campaign poster that bared his last name. “And just so you’re clear, if you’re ever writing me a letter or are wondering how to spell my last name, remember it’s like ‘McDonald’s,’ only with double N’s and double L’s and only the first D.”
Added MacDonneld: “Oh, and with an E instead of an A, forgot about that one.”
The 56-year-old McConnell, who led yesterday’s Republican sweep of Virginia’s statewide races, thanked opponent Creigh Deeds, noting the Democrat ran a solid campaign but, ultimately, had a really hard first name to spell.
“See, it sounds like his name should’ve been spelled ‘Cree,’ so that probably threw a lot of people off,” Governor-elect McRoberts said. “I’ll admit that my last name is hard to remember how to spell, but still, it’s a little easier.”
McDonald’s then thanked his wife, Maureen McDowell, for her support, as well as his five children: Jeanine McDonovant, Cailin McD, Rachel McDullough, Sean McDonathan and Bobby McBobMcDonnell.

Guy Who Lives Above 3 Monkeys Tired Of Asking Everyone To Keep It Down
Nick Cavalieri, who has lived in the apartment directly above 3 Monkeys Bar and Grill since November, is getting "more than fed up" with having to continuously tell his neighbors to be quiet, the 30-year-old said today.
"Monday through Sunday, I hear those guys partying pretty much every night," Cavalieri said. The University ...
hilarious!
Yep… Score one for the “Angry white guys”…
Yeah…except that McDonnell won women by 10 points. And those under 30 by ten points. According to Rasmussen. True, the turnout was low, especially among the youth vote. That’s the problem with nominating a pet rock novelty candidate for prez. Eventually people realize it’s just a rock.
