McDonnell appoints 'Tito the Builder' to Virginia housing board

Gov. Bob McDonnell has appointed Tito Munoz -- better known as 'Tito the Builder' -- to the Virginia Board of Housing and Community Development.

You remember Tito the Builder. He appeared onstage with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin during the 2008 presidential campaign and more recently has become a conservative Latino voice on the radio.

McDonnell (R) also continued to announce appointments of supporters and donors to the board of visitors of Old Dominion and Radford universities. They include his high school girlfriend, Dee Gilmore, now chief of staff to Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-Va.).
