“Shame on him,” said State Senator Roscoe Reynolds, D-Ridgeway, of caption entries posted on a blog by Will Vehrs. “If I were him, I would resign,” Reynolds said. “Or if I had the power to fire him, I’d fire him.” ~Martinsville Bulletin, May 5, 2006~
“As far as I know, the only thing that Joe has done for me is to design a website,” Reynolds said. “I don’t know much about blogs, and I am not aware of what this is about. I am just not into blogs.” ~The Franklin News-Post, Sept. 3, 2007~
Soooooo…. Roscoe Reynolds knew enough about blogs a year and a half ago to call for a bloggers resignation. NOW, after attending a blog conference, Roscoe doesn’t even know enough about blogs to comment. Roscoe may be sellin’ it but I ain’t buyin’ it. Roscoe’s a HYPOCRITE. Or must we now be forced to say HYPOCRITIC to be acceptable in this new age climate of panty-waisted whiners who want to pick apart syntax because they don’t h
ave any real progressive ideas?
Hypocrisy: Calling for the resignation of a conservative blogger for making fun of a stupid picture but then sticking your head in the sand when your liberal blogger buddy pulls a “prank” involving advocates of pedophilia. The only thing worse than a hypocrite is a cowardly hypocrite.
Roscoe may be a member of a special genus of hypocrites. The Richmond Times-Dispatch calls him homo hypocriticalis because he boasts about fending off a rate increase after he voted for a considerably larger tax increase. Does anyone else notice a pattern here?

I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of my buddy, Alton Foley, than I was last Thursday night when he appeared as a guest on a local call-in show. In simple terms, he patiently described how members of the Old Dominion Blog Alliance had promoted YouTube videos of Roscoe Reynolds in all his glory, his arrogance and condescension displayed for all to see. Joe Stanley punished them by reserving a website in their name and linking it to NAMBLA. He later removed the NAMBLA link and replaced it with his rambling Mea Culpa complete with some links to blogs that don’t even belong to the ODBA.
It is complicated. Watch the video of Alton and decide for yourself. Send it on to Roscoe - maybe then he’ll finally stop flip-flopping and take a firm stand on something.
Or maybe a homo hypocriticalis can’t change its spots.
