Outgoing Virginia Governor Tim Kaine got a bit of a surprise during his radio show today, after "Barry from D.C." called to thank him for his years of service.
"Barry from D.C." was, however, President Obama.
"Governor Kaine, this is actually the President of the United States calling," Obama said.
"No," a nearly incredulous Kaine began. [...]

Departing Gov. Tim Kaine’s shoddy little trick last week adds another item to the General Assembly’s to-do list: Fix the state budget process. Kaine put together an in-your-face, tax-hiking budget knowing full well it would not meet with the approval of the General Assembly or the incoming governor, Bob McDonnell. McDonnell made it quite plain throughout his campaign that he was not going to entertain tax hikes. Yet Kaine has proposed an...

Lame duck Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (D) leaves office in a few weeks, turning things over to Republican Bob McDonnell. This year's $37.8 billion budget is a slight increase from last year's $37.0 billion and up even from 2007's $35 billion budget, but Kaine argues that a tax increase is needed to keep up with proposals for spending growth.
(The Washington Post commends Kaine for "reducing budgets by $7 billion" but that seems to be a false...
