"Virginia governor’s chef didn’t get criminal background check when hired"

"RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell’s administration acknowledged Tuesday that it did not know the chef at the Executive Mansion had been convicted of embezzlement when he was hired to work for the governor and his family two years ago.

McDonnell’s staff failed to conduct the required criminal background check on Todd Schneider, who recently left his job amid a police investigation after a tip about possible wrongdoing at the mansion. "

Of course why bother running a background check when O'Donnell, Cuccinelli, and their cronies are the real criminals? Todd Schneider seems to be an amateur compared to the rest of VA's GOP.

Not so late breaking news: Little Rock airport renamed for Bill and Hillary

Somehow I missed this story in the Washington Post and on DU.

Little Rock airport renamed Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport after unanimous vote
By Associated Press, Published: March 20

"LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Travelers flying into Little Rock will now be reminded of Arkansas’ most famous political couple after officials voted Tuesday to rename the city’s airport after Bill and Hillary Clinton.

The Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission unanimously agreed to change the name of the Little Rock National Airport to honor former President Bill Clinton and his wife, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The former president, an Arkansas native and the state’s former governor, said they were humbled."
