Yeah, He's Still Governor

• After apologizing Friday for appearing in an ‘80s yearbook photo wearing blackface next to someone in a KKK outfit, then denying that it was him in the photo, then admitting in a press conference to blackening his face with shoe polish to impersonate Michael Jackson, then turning down a reporter’s request to moonwalk, then resisting calls for his resignation, disgraced Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is still governor. Northam is currently consulting with his staff over whether or not he has a political future (probably not). Meanwhile, black Virginians who voted for Northam feel cheated. At least Northam can find support in everyone’s favorite former Democrat, Joe Lieberman. [Associated Press]
