Here’s my 2010 Christmas Gift list…feel free to add more for anyone I missed!
To ex-Del. Bobby Matheson: Since he lost to Ron Villanueva by a hair, Rogaine!
To Dem Chair Brian Moran: Continuing his campaign track record.
To Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms: An egg timer to gavel Council Speeches that you know are going to go too long and say nothing.
To VB Councilman Jim Wood: A giant “I told you so” button about former HRT chief Michael Townes
To Meyera Oberndorff: A hobby, and one that doesn’t involve moonlighting at candidate forums.
To Sen. Jeff McWaters: Something in a “statewide” should do
To Del. Barry Knight: Someone who doesn’t like him – there must be someone.
To Sen. Yvonne Miller: laryngitis. Sine Die might come an entire week earlier.
To Gov. Bob McDonnell: An entire year without saying “time, talent and treasure” or “hard work of freedom” – catch phrases are great, but there’s always room for new ones.
To LG Bill Bolling: Lots of 20-20 votes
To AG Ken Cuccinelli: Tommy Lee Jones to play him in a movie.
To Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim: Free light rail trips for life, not that it will take him anywhere
To Sen. Ralph Northam: A coin to flip, one side says GOP and the other says DEM.
Del. Paula Miller: a reason to be in the General Assembly – there’s gotta be one.
To VB Councilwoman Barbara Henley: an answer to why she can never understand anyone else’s motions enough to vote for them, but flips out if anyone says the same about hers.
To Del. Sal Iaquinto: Better movies for his fundraiser themes – the 70s ain’t coming back, Sal.
To Del. Chris Stolle: Better Tea Party relations – if they knew how conservative you are, you’d be on their posters.
To Del. Glenn Oder: A new Hampton Roads bridge tunnel paid for by payday lenders
To Del. John Cosgrove: a lead in the General Assembly version of Glee
To Sen. John Miller: Higher taxes on all the gas he buys, since he thinks it’s such a great idea.
To ex-Sen. George Allen: bankruptcy for the Washington Post
To Sen. Mark Warner: Actual legislation he can sponsor other than his usual resolutions commending some organization. Seriously, Mark. Is this all ya got goin’?
Sen. Jim Webb: A good book.
Rep-elect Scott Rigell: A new law making candidates’ donations to themselves tax deductible. C’mon, if job seekers can deduct costs from their taxes, so should candidates. Two mil is a chunck of change.
Rep. Bobby Scott: That they keep gerrymandering his district, or else he’ll be out of office quick.
President Barack Obama: Understanding that Hillary Clinton wants to be a Kennedy – she may have held Robert’s Senate seat, but she’s about to act like Teddy did in ’80.
