Thats the way we roll in the New Mexican Territory.

****************

Richardson and his corruption are big news here but my fav is the Columbus, NM police running guns across the border and the “Chavez Crime Family” who are LEO’s and alleged to kill people and make it look like a suicide. Move over Chi Town!

The town of Columbus, NM has raised the bar pretty high.

I hope it sticks like superglue.

Corruption involving Richardson? I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!

[Army Air Corps]

Bill Richardson corrupt? Say it ain’t so, Joe! /sarc

Richardson is as crooked at Billy Jeff Clinton.

Pinging the list again; from the ABQ Journal Breaking News ...

BREAKING: State Supreme Court Suspends Indicted Judge

The state Supreme Court has suspended Las Cruces District Judge Michael Murphy who was indicted on bribery charges.

~~ Snip ~~

A special prosecutor in the case said the indictment of the judge is just the beginning of the latest investigation into pay-to-play allegations against former Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration.

I like the comments of the special prosecutor, who in this case is Matt Chandler, Clovis district attorney who ran but lost against Gary King for NM AG last November.

Wow. I like to see this kind of thing happening. Do you think Richardson is in real trouble or will he weasel his way out of it?

[MAKOTHEDOG]

I felt the same way about Chandler too. Being tied to Richardson and corruption didn’t work for Denish and won’t work for King.

[MAKOTHEDOG]

It would be nice if they could tie everything to Richardson but I really don’t see that happening. It would be hard to prove the cash payments were tied to him. I think it really will come down to who has the most to lose and who sings and what can be proven. Mind you, this is in the very early stages and it already stinks bad. If indeed Richardson is a player in this put him in jail. He wouldn’t be the first ex gov. to be locked up.

Richardson and Clinton are professional snakes, eh.

[unkus]

You’re right about that...we’d better be leary of Hillery.

Was Gov. Jack Campbell as bad as I’ve heard? That’s been a while ago.

[Impy]

What was it he did to Denise Denish?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Groped her. And when he didn’t resign early to give her a leg up for the Gov’s race, he screwed her (rhetorically speaking).
