Unfortunately for Jim Gilmore and his star-crossed run against soon-to-be Senator Mark Warner, this is not the kind of front page story in the Washington Post that you want to see.
Former Virginia governor James S. Gilmore III, the state's Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, submitted false information on two financial disclosure forms that hid his ties to a government contractor embroiled in a legal dispute over allegations that two of its executives had conspired to defraud the federal government.[...]
...Gilmore was on the board of a Virginia-based company also called Windmill International...The Virginia company, headed by Douglas Combs, a former Navy official, is at the center of an ongoing lawsuit alleging that Combs and others tried to secure fraudulent government contracts in Iraq.
Fraudulent government contracts in Iraq? Isn't that also known as "war profiteering?" And Gilmore didn't know anything about this, thought he really worked for a company in New Hampshire? Greeeeaaaaat.
How's that car tax thing working out for you now, Gilmore?
And, Gerry Conolly, are you sure that you didn't know anything about the Fairfax County budget shortfall before you got re-elected?
What fun... finding the guy's incompetence is like shooting fish in a barrel!!
