Liberty University Fires Bob McDonnell

Hat tip, JoeMyGod: Liberty University Fires Bob McDonnell

Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell loses Liberty University teaching job

Ex-Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell has lost his teaching gig at Liberty University. The Christian college announced on Friday they had ditched the disgraced politician after he was convicted on multiple federal corruption charges. Liberty President Jerry Falwell had called the former governor “a longtime friend of the university” in April, when McDonnell was appointed a visiting professor in government. McDonnell and his estranged wife Maureen were found guilty of public corruption on September 4. A jury found the couple accepted gifts and loans from former Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams in exchange for using the governor’s office to promote his products. The McDonnells will be sentenced in January and could face 20 years in prison.

Everyone knows, when you're thinking about attending college in Virginia your first question is always, "how's the skiing?"

To paraphrase Kinison, right now Jesus is going through the Bible saying "where the fuck did I say to build a fake ski slope?"

Lots if cranes at Liberty right now. Jerry was insured up to his eyeballs when God saw fit to end his evil years on Earth.
