'Seriously?' Lefty hacks admit McAuliffe is a ‘sleazebag’ — after it’s too late

Sigh. A few days late and what will ultimately prove to be millions of dollars short.

Two days after corruptocrat Terry McAuliffe won the governorship, tabloid site Gawker finally decided to acknowledge that yes, Virginia, McAuliffe is a “sleazebag”:

Meet Virginia's new sleazebag governor. http://t.co/MYj1FkRTfJ

Tweeters couldn’t help but wonder why Gawker didn’t think this was worth knowing before Election Day:

Gawker: "We waited 'till after the election so he could win" RT @Gawker: Meet Virginia's new sleazebag governor. http://t.co/l5HOLcA1w9

That’s right. Mother Jones also took its sweet time with its McAuliffe exposé.

At least Mother Jones didn’t wait until after the election was completely over, but this is still a major journalism fail. Did it ever occur to MoJo that voters really could’ve used this information before going to the polls?

If you're going to write about McAuliffe's crony background, might want to do it before election day #VAGov http://t.co/dOr5AEEBwj

Even liberal @motherjones can't stand @TerryMcAuliffe. Of course they wouldn't admit it until almost after the fact. http://t.co/IzIz8VVZiS

From @MotherJones http://t.co/xwBxWW3aqt who were brave enough to post this after 1:00 PM Virginia time today.

Enjoy that Virginia.
