Linwood Duncan has resigned from his position with Rep. Virgil Goode “because of health reasons,” Bernard Baker writes in the Danville Register Bee. Duncan has worked for Goode since Goode was elected to congress in 1996. Duncan had a role in “Eden’s Curve,” to the homophobic Goode’s certain humiliation. That is, of course, the real …

“Goode Linked to Gay Movie.”
When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade. When the Danville Register-Bee hands you the headline “Goode Linked to Gay Movie,” make…um…gay-ade. (With that just-out-of-the-closest freshness that can’t be beat.) Now, Eden’s Curve doesn’t look like porn, per se. Let’s go with gay erotica. IMDB says that if you enjoyed “Eden’s Curve,” you may also …
Goode refuses televised debates.
Rep. Virgil Goode has refused to debate challenger Tom Perriello on TV. Fifth District Republican Chair and Goode’s long-time right-hand man Tucker Watkins had committed Goode to a televised debate, but then Goode claimed that NBC-29 should have known better than to accept a commitment from him. Man, has that got to be humiliating for …
Goode doesn’t know who’s throwing his fundraiser.
From the “WTF” files, Sarah Arkin writes for the Register Bee that Rep. Virgil Goode has no idea who is hosting a $500/plate fundraising dinner for him upstate, on Thursday. (Hint: It’s a lobbying firm.) Could he really be that clueless, and confess his cluelessness to a reporter? Or is this a they can’t buy …

Perriello/Goode debate, poll.
Rep. Virgil Goode and Tom Perriello debated last night, at the Senior Statesman of Virginia’s standard biennial House candidate forum. Campaign advisor Lloyd Snook thinks Perriello came out on top, and prominent local writer and noted Quaker Helena Cobban basically agrees, but with significant reservations. Coincidentally, SUSA released a poll in the race today (which …
Contribute to Tom Perriello’s campaign.
I can’t honestly say what Tom Perriello‘s chances are against Rep. Virgil Goode here in the Fifth District, but I do know that they’re better than in any prior election, and that they get better with every dollar raised. With that in mind, I just contributed $50 to the race, and I hope some of …
How not to unseat Virgil Goode: The Hummer story.
There are plenty of reasons why Rep. Virgil Goode should be replaced with a Democrat. Not one of those is the fact that he was recently in a parade in which somebody else was driving a Hummer. It’s been frustrating to watch this story make the rounds of Democratic blogs during the past few weeks. …

Goode gets caught telling a tall China oil-drilling tale.
In order to fulfill his twice-annual quota of saying something totally nuts, Rep. Virgil Goode informed a WCHV radio host last week that China is drilling for oil off the coast of Cuba. I wish I knew what Goode was thinking when he says such foolish things. He’s doing no favors for himself, his district, …

Goode snubs McCain.
Rep. Virgil Goode is one of just 14 Republicans in congress who haven’t endorsed John McCain, and isn’t saying if he’s going to. If only we could mix up Gilmore in this story somehow, it’d induce Dem-gasms throughout today’s state convention.
