10. Governor VP and that's not Vice President, that's vaginal probe

Thu Sep 4, 2014, 02:28 PM

Sep 2014

A Virginia state senator gave Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) a new nickname on Tuesday, resurrecting a fight over McDonnell's support for legislation that would have mandated women have a transvaginal ultrasound before getting an abortion.

"n Virginia ... we refer to Gov. Bob McDonnell as 'Governor VP' -- and that's not vice president, that's vaginal probe," said state Sen. Louise Lucas (D-Portsmouth) on a conference call organized by the Democratic National Committee.

It's not the first time Lucas has mocked McDonnell and the ultrasound bill. In a speech on the Senate floor in March, Lucas lamented that Virginia was becoming a "Punanny State" -- a reference to a "Daily Show" segment that made fun of the pending legislation.
