2. Yep

The man had a chance to avoid this...thought he was loved by all Virginians!


And it looks like God gave Bob his answer...

3. A. Don't fire the help B. He was offered a plea on one charge (and protect his wife)

But then he would be disbarred so he didn't take it. He still wanted to run for office.

4. He's so selfish and stupid.

He could have copped to just one charge and kept his wife out of jail, but nooooo. He had to try that lame throw your wife under the bus defense. Now they're both going to jail for a good long time. GOP family values: everyone for himself.

5. "See you guys in a little while"

6. They both sobbed in court. May this be the first of many, many, felony corruption cases!
