Del. Joe Bouchard, Director of Government Sales for Cox Communications (nice job for a legislator, huh? Hey Virginian-Pilot! While picking on Tommy Norment for teaching classes, why not look at these Democrat jobs in YOUR OWN READERSHIP AREA). I wonder what governments Del. Bouchard sells to, and what his position on the FINANCE committee (where all aid to localities is voted on) has to do with his “government sales.”
Anyway, Bouchard has raised the “desperate” flag and is running a TV ad that was so wretched and mean-spirited, not to mention wrong, that the Virginia Hospital and Healthcare Association fired off a two page letter itemizing the inaccuracies of Bouchard’s 30-second bomb.
Least of which, Bouchard misrepresented Chris Stolle, his job, his title, his duties and the hospital’s record of service. They asked the cable salesman to pull this particular attack from the airwaves.
I guess the ad saying “Hi. I’m Joe Bouchard, and I’m a cable TV salesman” just wasn’t sexy enough.
Or “I’m Joe Bouchard, and I voted to raise sales taxes on my district 25%”
