"Sextin Joe" bientôt maire de Richmond (Virginie"

Si la candidature de Donald Trump provoque des incidents qu'on ne retrouve habituellement pas dans une campagne électorale, je me suis également intéressé au retour spectaculaire de Joe Morrissey. Morrissey s'est retrouvé en prison après avoir envoyé par texto à ses amis des photographies de nues de sa jeune secrétaire de 17 ans. La jeune femme est devenue son épouse depuis. Sa carrière est riche de frasques et de gestes controversés, mais rien ne l'empêche de dominer la course pour la mairie de Richmond.

 "In professional circles, among blacks and whites, Morrissey is nothing less than an embarrassment, his cringe-worthy moments including the photo he once distributed of himself and Warren and their newborn son dressed in antebellum costumes seemingly out of “Gone With the Wind.”

In addition to his 6-month-old daughter and 18-month-old son with Myrna, Morrissey is the father of three more children with three different women, none of whom he married. His oldest child is 29.

  “Many people would be mortified if Joe Morrissey is elected,” said former Virginia governor L. Douglas Wilder, who once served as the city’s mayor and who is not endorsing any candidate."
