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

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."

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."

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

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?

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.

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

Game Show Host (John Cleese): Good evening and welcome to Stake Your Claim.
First this evening we have Mr Norman Voles of
Gravesend who claims he wrote all Shakespeare's
works. Mr Voles, I understand you claim that
you wrote all those plays normally attributed to
Shakespeare?

Voles (Michael Palin): That is correct. I wrote all his plays and my wife and I
wrote his sonnets.

Host: Mr Voles, these plays are known to have been performed in the
early 17th century. How old are you, Mr Voles?

Voles: 43.

Host: Well, how is it possible for you to have written plays
performed over 300 years before you were born?

Voles: Ah well. This is where my claim falls to the ground.

Host: Ah!

Voles: There's no possible way of answering that argument, I'm
afraid. I was only hoping you would not make that particular
point, but I can see you're more than a match for me!

Host: Mr Voles, thank you very much for coming along.

Voles: My pleasure.

I wasn't drafted by the Kansas City A's???? Hmmm... My mistake. I meant I was drafted by the New York Knicks.

DIMS ARE LIARS:

More lying from a fellow DIM Kerry:

"[John] Kerry acknowledged that some voters in Massachusetts, the nation's most Irish-American state, may have had the impression that he had Irish roots. He said that he knew of no Irish ancestry and that he had always tried to correct misstatements whenever he learned about them.

"Numerous publications, including the Globe, have stated that Kerry is Irish-American.

"'I'm sure some people see the name and say, "Hey, I think it's this or that," but I've been clear as a bell,' Kerry said. 'I've always been absolutely straight up front about it.'

[...]

"Kerry 'has never indicated to anyone that he was Irish and corrected people over the years who assumed he was,' [spokeswoman Kelly] Benander said."

-- Michael Kranish, "Search for Kerry's Roots Finds Surprising History," in the Feb. 2 Boston Globe.

''For those of us who are fortunate to share an Irish ancestry, we take great pride in the contributions that Irish-Americans ..."

-- Senate floor statement by John Kerry, March 18, 1986, as quoted in Frank Phillips' and Brian C. Mooney's "1986 Statement Counters Kerry's Stand on Heritage," in the March 6 Boston Globe.

"As some of you may know, I am part-English and part-Irish. And when my Kerry ancestors first came over to Massachusetts from the old country to find work in the New World, it was my English ancestors who refused to hire them."

-- Draft remarks prepared for Kerry in 1984, quoted by Phillips and Mooney in the March 6 Globe. Kerry was lieutenant governor of Massachusetts at the time.

"[I]n 1982, at the state Democratic convention in Springfield, his campaign gave his convention floor workers emerald-green T-shirts and hats featuring the logo, 'Up Kerry' -- a takeoff on the rallying cry for the first president of the Republic of Ireland, Eamon de Valera, whose supporters cried, 'Up de Valera!' "

-- Phillips and Mooney in the March 6 Globe.
