Raffle Being Held In Government Building in Fairfax

“I guess it’s a free country, and people can make mistakes in judgment all the time,” Kaine said. “When I read about a group doing this, it just makes me wonder what makes them tick.” *****************************************

The raffle Thursday night at the Mason District Government Center in Annandale has angered Fairfax County officials and heightened attention on Virginia’s gun laws a month after a 23-year-old college student from Fairfax fatally shot 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech.

*****************************************

“It is not the place for government to interfere with a private raffle,” Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell (R) said through a spokesman.

House Majority Leader H. Morgan Griffith (R-Salem) said gun control advocates frequently use government property to hold gun buyback events.

Andrew Cohen writes the Bench Conference blog for WaPo.

What a morning it’s been for devotees of the U.S. Attorney scandal. While former Deputy Attorney General James B. Comey was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee about ghoulish behavior on the part of then-White House counsel Alberto Gonzales, the Attorney General himself was throwing under the bus his former deputy, Paul J. McNulty, who resigned under fire yesterday from the Justice Department. Got that? The guy who should be Attorney General was highlighting the backhanded way in which the current Attorney General operated back in 2004. And Gonzales, the guy who has kept his job thanks to blind loyalty on the part of President Bush, was unable and unwilling to show any measure of fealty to his own subordinate, savaging him less than 24 hours after McNulty decided to go.
