Will Dove Get the Bud Light Treatment?

Dems Nominated an Online Porn Star for House of Delegates
by Kerry Dougherty I can’t decide which is more shocking: that Virginia Democrats nominated a porn star for the House of Delegates or that The Washington Post committed an act of journalism that hurt a Democrat.
