Brew Politics: BET Co-Founder Hits New Low

The Virginia gubernatorial race is getting ugly, thanks to Sheila Johnson (former wife of BET founder Bob Johnson). Johnson is endorsing Republican Bob McDonnell in the race. While speaking at an event, she mocked the stutter of Democratic candidate Creigh Deeds.

Johnson says: "We need someone who can really communicate. And Bob McDonnell can communicate. The other people that I talk to, especially his o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-opponent... could not articulate what needed to be done."

Take a listen.



What a low blow!

Deeds' spokesman called Johnson's comment a "cheap shot and a new low for this race."

Somebody get Comcast on the phone, STAT. Cancel my BET immejitley.
