OK, let me point out that I think Richardson’s highest obligation of loyalty is to those who elected him. Or to those whom he swore to serve, the Amercican people or the people of the state of New Mexico.
If you would say that the Constitution or God is higher I will not disagree. But I will disagree if you are saying that he owes the Clintons or any other politician anything above the responcabilities to his office.
You can’t really think that Richardson gives a damn about the people who elected him, can you? His only “loyalty”, like that of almost all politicians, is to the advancement of his own fortune. Do you think Hillary would be “loyal” to him? I’m not defending Richardson, I just think he’s no worse than the typical RAT backstabber. Carville is “loyal” to the Clintons only because nobody else would have him.
