Hi Joe!

Style is reporting that we now have Joe Morrissey up in us:
Sources who asked not to be named say Morrissey plans to challenge former Petersburg Delegate Rosland Dance in the Democratic primary. Dance won Henry Marsh’s former Senate seat during a special election […] Morrissey laid the groundwork for the political maneuver this week, moving from his Henrico County home to a residence in Church Hill […]
Do two people moving to Richmond’s east end in order to qualify to run in some political race constitute a pattern? Or do there have to be three or more?
If and when he files to run for the Senate seat, his address will be included. Then we will know who needs to hide yer kids, hide yer wife…
Doesnt he still have charges pending for creating fradulent or using fradulent paperwork as evidence in his last case?
Crap, he already goes to my gym.
Whoa… for the record, I have no relation to Rodney…
Well, I see Morrissey has one pro child predator vote, #10!
Emily, that’s irrelevant, and somewhat of a slippery slope argument. It’s illegal, that’s what matters.
Not normally convinced, but this may portend The Rapture…
Hide your daughters!
I will say he’s always been a staunch advocate for his constituents, better than we’ve had here in the past. Since it’s Friday, perhaps we need to hear Oingo Boingo’s song “Little Girls” for a tad of comic relief.
Or running for mayor
People, it’s so he’s closer to jail.
Joe Morrissey = “modern day” Patrick Henry
(call me crazy…but I honestly believe this)
What an insult to Patrick Henry; he’s probably spinning in his grave! Hell, it’s insulting to most politicians & criminals to be compared to Morrissey.
We treat 17-year-olds as adults if they kill somebody but as children if they have sex. Anybody else see something wrong with this?
@21 The issue is not about a 17 yea old having sex. It’s about a much older person in a position of authority, having sex with someone much younger. That’s why it’s illegal for a teacher to have sex with a high school student. The scales are inherently imbalanced.
Saturday’s Times-Dispatch states that he’s signed a lease on an apartment in a Church Hill, in a “loft inside a renovated tobacco warehouse.” Aren’t the warehouses in the Bottom?
Child Predator Joe Morrissey may be our State Senator and/or our Mayor — lovely.
@21….A 51 yr old gran-daddy having sex with a 17 year old??? Although some 17 year olds may be very mature for their age and be able to logically decide if this act is right for them….many are not. A 51 yr old man should be wise enough to realize that someone should not be taken advantage of due to their youth and immaturity. Some may suffer long-lasting emotional consequences. That’s why there are laws protecting juveniles against this behavior.
I wonder which church will back the scumbag – because basically ALL winning candidates from this precinct have heavy church endorsement; without it is a waste of time & money. It took federal incarceration to get rid of Lee Young.
@26. And now Mr. Young is back, as an ‘ally’ of Morrissey. Marion Barry made a similar comeback, also with the support of forgiving and supportive congregations.
#27, In my comment about getting rid of Lee Young, I accidentally omitted “from Church Hill”.
And I’m sure it’s only coincidence that Morrissey’s recently acquired religion was in Young’s congregation. (sarcasm off)
He has an apartment in Shockoe Bottom on 20th St. The Free Press broke this story earlier.
Another signal of Delegate Morrissey’s intent is his recent move to an apartment in Shockoe Bottom in Richmond. He also has posted a “For Rent” sign in the front yard of the Glen Allen home that has been his district residence in recent years.
That move to Shockoe Bottom, which he disclosed to the Free Press on Monday, enabled him to establish residence in the Senate district. State law requires candidates to be qualified to vote for the office they are seeking, and that includes living in the district.

On the late news last night Morrisey was quoted as saying he was going to buy a house “in the ritzy section of Church Hill” Lee Young lived in the Bow house in the pilot block when he was a CH resident.
Spacecat makes the most well thought out, factual posts on this subject. There are some blocks where he would fit right in with the self entitled, the rules do not apply to me and personal accountability or shame for my actions does not apply are quite prevalent!
