Surprised this didn't turn up in a search.

Richardson

BTW, John Kerry is IRISH as well!

[frogjerk]

Maybe it was a stealth draft of some sort...And I forgot, "Love Story" was based on Al and Tipper Gore...

[RetiredArmy]

He's a democrat, thus no lie. Just mistaken is all. Move along, nothing here.

[brytlea]

Would have probably been better for NM if he HAD been drafted. Maybe he wouldn't have fallen into politics.

The words "Drafted by K.C." appear next to his name on a faded team program, the Journal reported.

This is pretty poor evidence. Sort of like showing a checking account journal that the checkholder enters all information into the checkbook. One cannot possibly determine when the information was entered into the journal. You'd have to review the cancelled checks for accuracy. Of course, all the scouts are dead. Whose handwriting is it?

"After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter ... I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's," he said.

RICHARDSON 1: "I'll ask myself if I was drafted...-to self- Was I drafted by the A's?"
RICHARDSON 2: "Good question, let me check...No, after all of these years you are mistaken."
RICHARDSON 1: "I'm glad we cleared this whole mess up...an honest mistake...Thanks."
RICHARDSON 2: "Don't mention it."

That's the only way to get all the queso off.

On a biographical sheet Richardson completed for Tufts in his junior year, he wrote, "Drafted by Kansas City (1966), LA (1968)." He said he wrote those words because he believed they were true.

CLINTON: "Oral sex is not sex because I believe this to be true...and so it is."

see, I told you so....
Politicians don't lie.

His position was left wing pitcher

[RVN Airplane Driver]

It would be interesting to check out all the congress critters bio's....bet Richardson would not be the only one to be caught in a lie. That being said....anyone who was drafted by a Major league team knew it....and if you were so dumb to not know the difference...well...I guess we are talking about a politician...so there is a slight chance he didn't!!

These are two lies not one. He was not drafted in '66 or '68...

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Did ANYONE believe Richardson's explanation of the Los Alamos security breach? Remember Senators Byrd and Shelby tearing him a new one in a Senate hearing?

[Gay State Conservative]

The Former Twelfth Lady is,unfortunately,likely to go a lot farther in politics than Richardson in spite of having told much more serious lies than this one.

[smokinleroy]

Perhaps he was drafted by Uncle Sam but chose to be a Dodger instead.

[Red Badger]

He wasn't picked because they had their eye on a certain Cuban baseball player.........
