After the campaign, I grew a beard as a rebellion against those consultants who told me I had to comb my hair, shave, lose weight. I said, You know, I’m gonna do what I want now. That was a good feeling.
I named my horse after Toby Keith because I really like the guy. Genuine—that’s Toby Keith. One of the great things about him is that during dinner he’ll start singing a song. Right there. Not to perform, but to tell you what he was feeling the particular day that he wrote it.
As I’m chatting with Obama, the moderator says, “Governor Richardson, what do you think of that?” And I look at him like a deer in the headlights. I was about to say that I hadn’t heard, when Obama puts his hand over his mouth and says, “Katrina.” So I gave my four-point plan on Katrina.

Hell I can’t name the current one.
Ron Brown was Clinton's Secretary of Commerce.
Look what happened to him.
What else can we expect? Remember, Richardson got turned down by Monica.
Dingdingding. We have a winner.
Ronald Harmon Brown (August 1, 1941 – April 3, 1996), was the United States Secretary of Commerce, serving during the first term of President Bill Clinton. He was the first African American to hold this position. He was in the 1996 Croatia USAF CT-43 crash which ended his life and 34 others.
If I was on his staff, I would travel on separate flights.
You win the silver medal.
“who told me I had to... lose weight. ...I named my horse after Toby Keith”
I bet old Toby (the horse) is reaaall happy ol Gov. Richardson’s going to Washington, and won’t be hopping up on his back much
For WHAT? Pleasure?
PS: He copped out on the Frito Bandito look for his new job, I see.
What an idiot. I’m more qualified. This just shows that a college degree is no guarantee of wisdom, nor intelligence.
When he was our head rep at the United Nations. Bubba asked him to get Moica out of DC. Richardson offered her a high level job with our US delegation to the UN, and Monica siad...NO.
Bill Richardson, a small man for a smaller job!
