"Sorry, Bill, I'm throwing you under the bus! For your own good, of course!"
Culture of Corruption. The shocking thing is that he actually asked that his name be withdrawn.

That’s not the Bill Richardson I knew.
“Culture of corruption”
I bet Hillary is laughing her ass off!
Dang. Did someone send Bill a dead fish? A horse head?
LOL
*ping* - one more for your list ...
This will quickly fade into the far background. I suspect even as I type this, Obama is at the gym preparing for another pectacular photo shoot to mesmerize the masses and the leg-tinglers in the media into forgetting about the latest scandal in a presidential administration that hasn’t even been sworn in yet.
A pectacular photo shoot minus the pecs and plus the moobs (man boobs), that is.
"Sorry, Bill, I'm throwing you under the bus! For your own good, of course!"
Fear of confirmation? Will the O-child resort to recess appointments for his more controversial picks? Will the media be a willing accomplice? (no need to respond to that last question, we all know the answer).
Richardson has been in public life for a quarter century and this is the first I’ve heard of his integrity being questioned.
Oh?
Maybe this will jog your memory.

Bill Richardson Caught In Clinton Undertow
Media Monitor | By Reed Irvine and Cliff Kincaid
| August 21, 1998
Ambassador Bill Richardson apparently lied when he said at his recent confirmation hearings that a UN job he offered to Monica Lewinsky last year was to fill an existing opening.
He had claimed that the position offered to Monica was an existing slot, though it later turned out not to have been so.
Secondly, Richardson described the job as low-level. Monica was offered $30,000 a year. The senior-staff person, Paul Aronsohn, who later filled the slot that Richardson said was the same one offered Monica, was paid more than double what Monica was offered, plus he had high-level experience in areas such as nuclear disarmament and the UN dues controversy.
The third main area of controversy had to do with what city and section the job entailed. Richardson said the job had to be in New York, though he had transferred Aronsohn to Washington from New York several weeks before testifying to the committee.
An after-the-fact memo once the scandal broke shows how standard procedure was ignored in offering this job to Monica. Aronsohn was transferred from the political to the press section, contrary to a State Department Inspector General recommendation - in an effort to try to create a credible scenario.
Senator Murkowski wrote the following in his letter to the president on August 7: “A news story published in the Washington Times today contains information in apparent contradiction to Ambassador Richardson’s sworn statements to the committee. I have an obligation to look into these serious allegations,” unquote. Stay tuned.
LOL,
And they all fall down... Talk about a culture of corruption. Is there any doubt as to why the States and Federal government are going Bust? Corrupt polticians bilking taxpayer dollars....
It would be nice for about a Million people to show up on inauguration day and dump billions of tea bags into the Potomac. Certainly newsworthy on that AHMEM... Historic day.
Wow, this is great news!! Hopefully it means that the investigation by the FBI will lead to him being indicted, and he knows it. If he resigns, the country is spared and if he goes to prison, NM will be spared any more of his BS. I hope so anyway.
Interesting...
