Regeant University must be so proud of their most famous graduate.

[Stinky The Clown]

Actually, they probably are.

The small minds produced there are on full display with the McDonnell trial and conviction. The monetary value of their corruption was pure chump change. Small potatoes. Yet he and soon to be VERY estranged wife Maureen, gave it all up for less that $150,000 in bribes, gifts, and joy rides in a Ferrari.

In the annals of political corruption, this one is laughable. Two boobs stealing party favors.

Imagine the sort of moral compass that allows people like them to do what they did. Not even TRYING to hide it all until after the fact.

I can hardly wait for January when they get sentenced.

I'm chuckling now. I will be guffawing then.

Chumps in the gutter collecting chump change.

4. I don't think all his schools can be blamed for his grifting. It's on him.

McDonnell was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Emma B. Meta (née Meiller; 1928–1994) and Lt. Col. John Francis McDonnell USAF Ret. (1916–2010).[8] His paternal grandparents were Irish immigrants, and his maternal grandparents were German immigrants.[9] His family moved to Fairfax County, Virginia, in 1955 when he was a year old. He spent four years of his early childhood in Germany when his father, a United States Air Force officer, was sent out on assignment. After returning to Virginia, the McDonnells permanently established residence in Fairfax County. McDonnell's mother worked at Mount Vernon. McDonnell graduated from Bishop Ireton High School in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1972.[10][11]

McDonnell attended the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, on an ROTC scholarship, graduating with a B.B.A. in management in 1976. Immediately following graduation, he served as a medical supply officer in the United States Army for four years.[12] His military posts were medical clinics in Germany from 1976 to 1979, and in Newport News, Virginia, from 1979 to 1981.[13] In addition, he took night classes and received an M.B.A. from Boston University in 1980. After leaving active duty in 1981, McDonnell worked for the American Hospital Supply Corporation, primarily in the custom products regional division.

His career path shifted from business to law and public policy when he selected a joint degree program at Christian Broadcasting Network University now known as Regent University.[14] He obtained an M.A./J.D. there in 1989.[10][11] During his studies, McDonnell interned under Congressman Jerry Lewis (R-California).[15]

Regent was probably not accredited when he got he got his MA/JD there, though. Remember all that mess during the Bush years about hiring all those Christian law school grads who had failed the bar and the law schools were not accredited when they graduated? They gave some woman--the only one of the lot who had passed the bar--immunity to testify to Congress about improper hires--and her testimony was dodgy anyway?

A bunch of posters from another board and I watch her testify and posted as we watched.

6. Got one of those civilian type military jobs

where he could take classes. Must have been nice.

No time for that happy shit in the infantry.

7. ROTC scholarship too.

The more Republicans talk bad about people taking from the government, the more I roll my eyes.
