Who cares? Boeing's already sold its social principles down the river to stump up tax money from South Carolina

Wolfe Reports has a good summary about the blowback Virginia's Republican governor and attorney general are getting about running on creating jobs but making gay-basking their top priority after winning. South Carolina could learn something here.No, wait. Wrong state.

UPDATE: McDonnell continues to backpedal after being totally owned on the issue.

The controversy — it ignited protests online and on campuses as well as in the General Assembly — threatened to tarnish McDonnell’s fledgling administration; made the state an object of ridicule on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”; and could complicate efforts to lure defense giant Northrop Grumman, which has gay-friendly employee policies, to relocate to Fairfax County from Los Angeles.

“It has caused too much fear and too much uncertainty in the business community and the higher-education establishment and among young people in the commonwealth — and I simply won’t stand for that,” McDonnell told reporters.

Yes, sir. Conducting a gigantic fuck-up that extends to businesses and higher education just might be a mistake when you’re trying to create a job-friendly environment.
