Virginia Congressman's Son Wins Congressional Medal of Honor in the War on Women

Remember Patrick Moran, last seen conspiring with a plant to fake hundreds of votes?

Moran and his girlfriend were fighting outside 14th St. bar The Getaway around 1:23 a.m. on Dec. 1, according to a police report, over Moran talking to another woman at the bar. Suddenly, Moran allegedly slammed his girlfriend’s head into the bar’s metal trash can cage.

After the attack, police described Moran’s girlfriend as “bleeding heavily from her nose and also observed that her nose and right eye were extremely swollen.” One of the ambulance technicians who transported her to Howard University Hospital told police that Moran appeared to have broken her nose and given her a skull fracture under her right eye.

This is a serious attack -- broken nose, skull fracture. And yet he managed to plead down to a very minor assault, and received probation as a punishment.

Uh-huh.

I'd like some external investigation into how this plea deal came to be. Unfortunately this sweet deal was brokered in Washington, DC. Where politicians and their ilk are free to do all sorts of things.

Both the headline and article come from @iowahawkblog. It was such a fantastic headline I had to swipe it.
