OK, what scandal is about to break with him?

Actually, it broke two weeks ago:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/15/AR2008121502940_pf.html

Most of the media has been ignoring it, so there must really be something there for Richardson to withdraw with absolutely no pressure from the Press.

Notice that he did it on Sunday afternoon for minimum MSM coverage.

I’m having a hard time keeping up with all the corruption scandals going on around Obama. Someone needs to start a ledger. Heeheehee.

"pretty sad when you're not up to Zero's ethics standards"

Obama to Richardsons: "The first rule of political graft is DON'T GET CAUGHT!"

ha ha ha ha..... this is so sweet, to see all these Demagogues falling like flies despite the best efforts of the Mediascum to protect them.

I want to see Shrillary fall next.....

So much for the most ethical administration in world history. Oh, wait, they're being forced to weed out some of their worst, so maybe they will all be saints by the time the Obamanation is sworn in. /s

“The shocking thing is that he actually asked that his name be withdrawn.”

The media will spin that as an honorable act, like the guy who committed suicide after he lost $1.5 billion of his investors money in that Ponzie scheme

He probably passed just fine initially or they wouldn’t have asked him in the first place - he’s not exactly a political unknown. But I bet that the sudden focus on Bambi and corruption brought about by the Blago follies has just raised the bar a bit, at least for public consumption.

Although, personally, I don’t know why. Dems always get away with corruption, and this will be but another piece of swirling detritus in their great toilet bowl.

"Notice that he did it on Sunday afternoon for minimum MSM coverage."

To add to that observation, we also have a pathetic press distracted by a "disproportionate response" in the Middle East. Ummmmmmm . . . Good riddance to another irrelevant and corrupt hasbeen on girly-boy Obama's cabinet, and here's a welcome mat for the whole lot to sink in their own rot!!!

A federal grand jury is investigating whether a financial firm improperly won more than $1.4 million in work for the state of New Mexico shortly after making contributions to political action committees

Ah...I notice they also gave to "Si Se Puede" and a bunch of other Obama-related DNC ethnic garbage.
