RICHMOND — Thomas Haynesworth sorted mail and made copies early Tuesday at his clerical job in Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II’s office. Then Cuccinelli went to work for him.

In a vaulted courtroom, Cuccinelli passionately tried to convince a Virginia appeals court that Haynesworth is an innocent man. That the state made a mistake when Haynesworth was convicted of rape three decades ago. That his name should be cleared.

1. Uh huh

2. Bingo. The key is right here:

“People perceive Cuccinelli as a hard-right figure on a number of issues,” said Mark Rozell, a George Mason University political scientist. “They don’t tend to see him as having a soft side.

Haynesworth is Cuccinelli's "black friend" that he can point to whenever anyone tried to call him out on his racist policies.

I'm sorry, but I know too much about Ken Kookoonelly to believe he has even this TINY shred of decency in him. Pure, 100% PR stunt (and an article generated by a AG office press release, I'd bet money on it.)
