The Albuquerque Journal ran a story the other day that won't help Bill Richardson's presidential aspirations any. The story gives what must be the fullest account on record of the New Mexico governor's proclivities for touching people in ways some might deem inappropriate.
"He pokes me," Lt. Gov. Diane Denish told the paper. She was referring specifically to a public event at which Richardson reached his hand behind her chair and poked at the side of her leg repeatedly for a period of several minutes. "He pinches my neck," Denish said. "He touches my hip, my thigh, sort of the side of my leg."

Pahl Shipley, Richardson's communications director, says that Richardson's frequent touches--the governor likes to lick his finger and smudge Shipley's glasses with saliva--are "almost like a sign of approval."

I found this through a link on NRO. I forgot about this. Obama certainly attracts odd supporters.

That choice of words made me chuckle a bit.

I glanced at the TV earlier and saw a guy with a black beard and mustache. He looked familiar. He looked like Fu Manrichardson. Very sinister. Am I having a bad dream or was it really the governor that I saw?

I noticed that Barak looked p*ssed off. Seriously, he lloked like he was not really thrilled while Richardson was flapping his gums.

I wonder if Obama said, “You look like a typical white person. Could you grow a typical Chicano beard?”

I keep seeing the quote and laughing. It seems rude and dirty.
