7. Speaking of Corbett's love for kids, are there ANY pics of him with his adopted black grandson?

I couldn't find a single one. The 2 month old was adopted by Corbett's daughter and her black husband back in 2011. Since then her husband was fired from the Philadelphia police dept. following an FBI sting investigation which caught him stealing money, and the governor's daughter described herself as being separated from her husband.

Given the Governor's new-found concern for children, I was scouring the internet looking for a picture of Corbett with said grandson, but found nothing. The only family "portraits" seem to be of Corbet with his wife and their dogs. I did come across the report from last August that the Governor's son-in-law (not former son-in-law) would be standing trial. I suggest this is because Corbett knows the majority of his supporters are OK with him kissing his dog (but don't tell Rick man-on-dog Santorum) but not having a black child in the family.

Gibson, 43, an officer for 17 years and son-in-law of Gov. Corbett, was ordered to stand trial on six theft-related charges by Municipal Court Judge Felice R. Stack.
