FYI.

Stuck with King Bill again here in NM. Maybe the Federal prosecutor can get rid of him for us.

Do a keyword search on Richardson or Bill Richardson for articles, including the expose of his abuse of the state personnel system to reward cronies and campaign donors.

Another PING! to the New Mexico list.

[the invisib1e hand]

the Light that is Obama appears to be too hot for many moths.

[Larousse2]

Add Maddoff to Team Obama (only kidding!)

[Oldpuppymax]

[Joiseydude]

"Did zer0 himself read his statement or did one of his talking heads?"

STATEMENT OF PRECEDENT-SELECT BARACK OBAMA:

"That's not the Bill Richardson I knew..."

[woofie]

Im gonna go ride Bill’s train to celebrate

[CedarDave]

So, for now, I will remain in the job I love, Governor of New Mexico, and will continue to work every day, with Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish, to make a positive difference in the lives of New Mexicans.

Here is the statement of the Lt. Governor. She gets thrown under the Richardson bus yet once again:

The Lt. Governor made the following statement:

"Governor Richardson postponed taking a position in the administration to ensure that President Obama and the American people face no delays in getting to work to fix our ailing economy, and the President-elect said he looks forward to Governor Richardson joining his administration in the days ahead. In the meantime, Governor Richardson and I will work together, as we have over the last six years, to tackle challenges at home, to craft a workable budget with the legislature and to strengthen our economy to make sure that every New Mexico family has the opportunity to succeed."

Sorry for you guys over in NM. Here in Arizona, we're keeping our fingers crossed that nothing torpedoes Napolitano's nomination!

So, is it that Richardson is too corrupt to serve in the 0bama administration, or 0bama is too corrupt for Richardson to sign on with him?

[kellynla]

The “Los Alamos Loser” Richardson, like the rest of the Clintonistas probably has more “baggage” than Delta Airlines. And the ONLY reason they haven't been called on it is because the Clintons have what I call a “J.Edgar Hoover” insurance policy. “Honey, I KNEW those copies of F.B.I. files would ALWAYS come in handy!” Unfortunately for Richardson and rest of the Clintons & Clintonistas, they don't have any dirt on Fitz!

Look for Richardson to start singing like the proverbial canary ‘cause ya know that fat tub of lard doesn't want to be anyone's prison girlfriend! LOL

[RobinOfKingston]

It is with deep regret that I accept Governor Bill Richa ...

Ah, yes. The "deep regret" has begun to flow. I have found "deep regret" to be much like the content of those effluent ponds on pig farms. Once it begins to flow, it naturally seeks its own level.

Stand by.

Did he not answer the dOpey-One’s 63 questions correctly? Is this not lying on an official document of the Office of President-elect? Sounds like an impeachable offense to me.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Untenable delay! Har dee har har har! He means it’s untenable to sit in the confirmation hearings hot seat with his hand up on oath, followed by standing on the Fifth Amendment and then a triple sault under the bus.
On live television.

CDR Financial Products, the company involved in the case, and its president contributed a total of at least $110,000 to three Richardson political committees in 2004, according to the article. Then, in 2004 to 2005, CDR received $1.48 million dollars in state contracts from NM.

Pardon me for being irreverent, but will someone here tell me how this differs from Michelle Obama being promoted from a $100 K/yr. job at UC Hospitals to a $300+ K job at th same employer just after the Magic Negro (hereafter "MN") was elected to the Senate and MN, in 2005, getting a $1,000,000 earmark for the UC Hospitals.
