"Virginia governor’s chef didn’t get criminal background check when hired"

"RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell’s administration acknowledged Tuesday that it did not know the chef at the Executive Mansion had been convicted of embezzlement when he was hired to work for the governor and his family two years ago.

McDonnell’s staff failed to conduct the required criminal background check on Todd Schneider, who recently left his job amid a police investigation after a tip about possible wrongdoing at the mansion. "

Of course why bother running a background check when O'Donnell, Cuccinelli, and their cronies are the real criminals? Todd Schneider seems to be an amateur compared to the rest of VA's GOP.

he's been a chef for a lot of people. How is he supposed to pay off his various liens and other obligations without a job? Also, what sort of financial mischief can he get into as a chef? Maybe lots, but I don't know.
