OBAMA-BUST: Bill Richardson will withdraw as Commerce secretary... Developing...

[rodguy911]

I thought all dem/rat votes were bought and paid for! What is so illegal?

[Enchante]

Maybe he can get himself convicted and removed from office before the end of his term!!

[DesertDreamer]

I like BR. Isn’t he the highest ranking person to admit OB was an immigrant?

That's possibly his most significant accomplishment.

He could have been their VP Nominee with Pretty boy silky Pony underwraps for his infidelity to his cancer patient wife.. Hillary blowing any chance for VP in the Primaries for questioning THE ONE.. Richardson most likely should have been the VP pick... Wonder why Biden got that nod after all since he was the bottom of the scum bucket. Something is very fishy here.... but hey who cares let them all fall down.

The media and the Rats attempted to destroy the country by turning their back on our Military and the CINC when the country needed unity most...

NOW they will tell us to hug and sing KumBahYA with Obama...

NEVER.... I hope he gets IMPEACHED.... I am too cynical to care anymore.....

This country will pine for the good ol’ days under Republican Presidents before its over that much I am sure of.

[BP2]

Yes, that is very very out of character for him. Methinks something else is afoot. Watch for any other signs of rats jumping off a sinking ship.

Quick check: who coming in the new administration has not resigned their former office yet?

[tomnbeverly]

Dems sold this country out when they did everything in their power to destroy BUSH....

Its PAYBACK time.... They reap what they sow.

Do a keyword search on Richardson or Bill Richardson to see all the dirt on the scumbag.

[They'reGone2000]

There's much to be said for clothing.

[SupplySider]

Another amoral Clintonite with a richly undeserved reputation for integrity bites the dust. Please let Leon Panetta be next.

Richardson is under investigation by the feds for a pay to play scam during the 2004 election. Obama can’t afford anymore connections to pay to play. There were rumors that Emanuel was going to resign, also. It looks like they decided that it would take heat off of Obama to keep Emanuel, instead of the other way around.

Dave did you ping the NM list? I'm with you, dammit we're stuck with the loser for another two years ;(

Binger, this was news to me, I'm still in Phoenix.

[MindBender26]

My sentiments exactly!

Reading this blog, it appears David Rubin has lots of possible pay to play schemes with democrat party members. Bill Richardson and David Rubin: Portrait of the Democrat Establishment

.......The probe focuses on whether the governor's office urged a state agency to hire CDR Financial Products. ..... In the New Mexico case, the FBI and federal prosecutors are investigating how CDR, based in Beverly Hills, Calif., won lucrative fees from the New Mexico Finance Authority in 2004 soon after donating $100,000 to two Richardson organizations.

From 2003 to 2004, CDR Financial gave $75,000 to Sí Se Puede, which paid for expenses at the Democratic National Convention in 2004. CDR's president and founder, David Rubin, also gave $25,000 to Moving America Forward, which funded Richardson's efforts to register Hispanic and American Indian voters.

Also noted in the blog....Rubin is the founder and president of CDR Financial Products, a diversified investment banking firm highly respected for their creative work in structuring and marketing housing products. In fact, CDR created the Lease-To-Own program, in concert with Freddie Mac, which enables low income families to acquire housing.

I wonder if the Blago investigation had anything to d with it? Hmmmm?

[CedarDave]

Dave did you ping the NM list? I'm with you, dammit we're stuck with the loser for another two years ;( Binger, this was news to me, I'm still in Phoenix.

Will do...

PING! to the NM list

[utahson]

This means Bill Richardson knows the feds have the goods on him and he is going to take a fall. What goes around comes around.

[omega4179]

Its stunning how corrupt and incompetent this Hope and Change is already.

[DesertDreamer]

... dammit we're stuck with the loser for another two years ;( ...

Yes, we are, but IF the NM GOP is smart they will turn this into an opportunity for 2010 and beyond.

[LadyBuzz]

maybe this was the reason:

Gee, Dems in DC usually have to serve a few years before they are indicted.

This is new!
