Richardson...competent? He was the guy runing the Department of Energy during the Los Alamos scandal. His so-called negoitations with North Korea were a disaster. He visited Afghanistan, met with the Tailban, and was part of our failed policy with that regime. His one year as UN representative was not great shakes with his most noteworthy accomplishment being a meeting with Monica about a job.
According to the sliding scale afforded to Democrats, yes.
