Check out what Waldo Jaquith has dug up:  a potentially HUGE scandal with regards to "Taliban" Bob McDonnell, the arch-conservative, radical Republican candidate for Attorney General (note the photo with that paragon of family values, righteousness and sanity: Pat Robertson).  And, once again, the problems center on Mr. "Moral Values'" relationship with "a pedophile, Robin Vanderwall, who is currently serving a seven-year jail sentence for attempting to lure a little boy to a park for sex."  Waldo continues:

Unfortunately for McDonnell, he?s batting .000 with Mr. Vanderwall. It seems that this gentleman isn?t just interested in having sex with children, but also laundering money for indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff...It?s also very clear that Vanderwall was a part of a powerful network of front organization created by the most famous, and most corrupt, of Republican leaders: Rep. Tom DeLay, Ralph Reed, and Jack Abramoff.

Jack Abramoff, of course, is a central figure in a series of high-profile political scandals linked to the Republican Party, including the Abramoff-Reed Indian Gambling Scandal.  Aside from being one of Tom "Arrest Warrant" DeLay's ?closest and dearest friends," Abramoff was indicted on August 11, 2005 for bank fraud.  Now it turns out that Bob McDonnell's former campaign manager was busy laundering money for Tom DeLay, when he wasn't busy attempting to sexually molest young boys that is.  Wonderful.
