Gov. Bob McDonnell has found a way to defray part of his monthly real estate expenses on the millions in property he owns -- by renting his western Henrico home to his hand-picked state health commissioner.
Dr. Cynthia C. Romero, who took over as state health commissioner in January, has been renting the McDonnells' $835,000 home in the tony Wyndham residential community, a McDonnell spokesman confirmed.
News that the governor entered into a financial relationship with a top state official under his supervision comes as federal and state investigators probe the gifts the first family and McDonnell have received during his time in office and his relationship with Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams Sr.
"This is improper because it's an obvious conflict of interest for the governor, and anybody can see that," said Larry Sabato, a political science professor and director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia.

I'm embarrassed when I think of the corruption and criminality that has run rampant in the last few decades, not to mention the imbeciles and morons who have come to represent the body politic.
And it just gets worse.

He had a ball selecting those about the love of money and materialism. That was a hoot
