Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s true calling as a first
responder was revealed on Friday after he helped rescue a trucker from her rig
in Louisa County after it caught fire.
According to WWBT-TV[1],
Cuccinelli was heading to Richmond from Staunton on I-64 on Friday when he and
his driver noticed smoke from the back tires of a truck hailing a flatbed
trailer. Cuccinelli’s driver pulled alongside the truck, alerted the driver to
the smoke, and then assisted the driver in putting out the fire.
So in moments when Cuccinelli is not using his office to
promote his bid for governor of Virginia or spout off nonsense about the
falsity of human-caused climate change, Cuccinelli is truly helping Virginians.
Go figure.
Of course, the political capital this incident gives
Cuccinelli in the upcoming gubernatorial election probably won’t be lost on
Cuccinelli or his campaign staff. Cuccinelli may try to play it off as an act
that any Virginian would have undertaken but the incident will certainly be
brought up again during his campaign for governor.
All politics aside, Cuccinelli performed admirably and
should be praised for it. It is just ironic that his greatest form of public service
so far has been on I-64 and not Capital Square.
