Bill probably doesn’t want to be in the inevitable showdown between Commerce and State over Hillary’s plan to expand the role of State to include international trade.

They should, but I wouldn't count on it. They will act like the stupid party we all know and despise.

How many affirmative action Cabinet appointments have the Democrats scandalized recently? Cisneros and Co. seemed to have more than their share of troubles during Clinton’s time.

Consider the demoncratic contenders prior to Zed's annointing and what has happened since:

Dodd

Edwards

Kucinich

Gravel

Biden (Zed offered him a cubicle before he could neutralize himself, which he accepted thereby neutralizing himself.)

Richardson

Clinton (Zed pulled an end run around Team Clinton, then offered H a cubicle because, like his granny used to say, "A fed dog don't hunt," in hopes of neutralizing the only true threat to his presidency and his handlers' agenda. Apparently, he went for the "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" option over the "Don't let the fox guard the henhouse" approach.

Meanwhile, Team Clinton is silently nodding and grinning away like Cheshire cats. Why is that?

Gov. Bill Richardson as Commerce Secretary-designate (Update 2: Video)

###

Wednesday, December 3, 2008 03:14pm EST / Posted by Dave Rochelson

President-elect Barack Obama announced he has asked Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico to join his administration as Secretary of Commerce.

“With his breadth and depth of experience in public life, Governor Richardson is uniquely suited for this role as a leading economic diplomat for America,” President-elect Obama said at the Chicago press conference announcing the appointment.

He added later, “In the end, Bill Richardson is a leader who shares my values...I know that [he] will be an unyielding advocate for American business and American jobs, at home and around the world.”

Read President-elect Obama’s full remarks and see pictures and video from the press conference below.

Clintons to Obama: We have a fool-proof method of removing Commerce Secretaries.

"Just ask Ron Brown.....OOPs!"

Yes, that is very very out of character for him. Methinks something else is afoot. Watch for any other signs of rats jumping off a sinking ship. Quick check: who coming in the new administration has not resigned their former office yet?

Richardson refused to resign his office until he was confirmed by the Senate and joined the Obama administration. In fact, he told the Lt. Gov (Diane Denish) that HE would be in charge until then. Bet she's pissed -- she's gotten the shaft from him the whole time, from sexual harassment to his pulling State Police security (she had to hire private security guards).

Yikes, that is very very out of character for him. Methinks something else is afoot. Watch for any other signs of rats jumping off a sinking ship. Quick check: who coming in the new administration has not resigned their former office yet?

Richardson refused to resign as governor until after he was confirmed. In fact, he told the Lt. Gov (Diane Denish) that he would be in charge until he joined the Obama administration. I bet she is pissed!!

Other than being a corrupt democrat, Bill Richardson spat on the Clintons. He is going down and the corrupt Clintons are still afloat.

heh, justice is far from being devine in this case, it is very earthly.

Heres a freakin’ quarter, Bill. feh....

Did you see the half page of letters to the editor in Friday’s Journal?? Most from Democrats giving more details on King Bill’s appointments of cronies to high-paying positions he created out of thin air and not authorized by the legislature.
