You know, we've been at this RaisingKaine thing for 8 months now, and we've collected a whole bunch of great material on Jerry Kilgore. I was thinking that it might be a good idea to condense all the reasons NOT to vote for Jerry Kilgore into an easy-to-read "Top 25" list. But then I thought, that's too many in one shot. So, instead, I've started listing a reason per day, counting down -- David Letterman style - to #1 in early October. Anyway, here's reason #4!
4) Jerry Kilgore's running mate, Lt. Governor candidate Bill "Gutter" Bolling, was an official at the Reciprocal Group, also known as "the Enron of the insurance industry." Amazingly, Bolling claims to have no memory whatsoever of any wrongdoing at the company, which -- according to an investigative report in the Washington Examiner, went bankrupt in 2003 ?with $770 million in unpaid claims." It is also worth pointing out that Reciprocal's top executives were found guilty of Enron-like fraud," and that the company's collapse "financially devastated thousands of doctors and lawyers as well as many hospitals across the country that relied on it for their malpractice insurance.? And THIS guy wants to be Lt. Governor of Virginia? What a team: Mr. Eavesdropping Scandal (Kilgore) and Mr. "Enron of the Insurance Industry" (Bolling). Impressive!
