Bill Richardson portrait heading for the dumbocratic hall of shame?

Looks like somebody may need to get another portrait ready for the Dumbocratic Hall of Shame. Bill Richardson may be the next one to be hung up. I'm glad to see Richardson leave the scene. I've always questioned his judgement on a number of issues. Like his support for keeping Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General just because he was "Hispanic".
Then there was his call to give the illegal immigrant fugitive Elvira Arellano a pardon.
Actually Richardson's troubles do not surprise me. I had a friend who worked on one of the morning TV shows. Whenever Bill Richardson appeared. I think he was Energy Secretary at the time. He would take the coffee/water cup that the show provided on the set so the guest would have something to drink if they needed it. Since my friend was responsible for these mugs he would ask Richardson for the mug back. Richardson just looked at him and said "nope". It's not that the show could not afford to lose the coffee mug it's that Richardson just thought that he was entitled to take it. He's just the kind of creep that we are better off not having in office especially as Commerce Secretary.

Richardson's racism and his Obama endorsement

SANTA FE, N.M. -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, the nation's only Hispanic governor, is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama for president"- Washington Post

Yep some endorsement! Bill Richardson was the former Democratic Presidential candidate who thought that Alberto Gonzales should remain in the Attorney General's Office just because he was Hispanic. Some of these guys like Richardson even don't see their own racism. But, that may fit it nicely with Reverend Wright's endorsement of Obama too.

Goodbye Bill Richardson and good riddence!

It's a good thing to see Bill Richardson leave the Democratic presidential race. As I noted Richardson shot himself in the foot when he called for a pardon for Elvira Arellano an illegal immigrant fugitive hiding in plain sight in a Chicago church. He than proceeded to put his foot in his mouth he said that Alberto Gonzalesw should stay on because he is Hispanic. Is he a racist or just a card carrying LA RAZA member? At least we won't here his lame reason why he against a secure border fence. His ludicrous position was that if a ten foot border fence is built the illegals will use an eleven foot ladder. At least we won't have to point out to Richardson with a defeatist attitude like that so will the terrorists.

Something was missing from the Democratic debate

"And so let me introduce them from left to right. We have with us former Senator John Edwards of North Carolina, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Senator Hillary Clinton from New York."

There was something missing from the ABC NEWS Democratic debate last night. Namely two presidential candidates Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich. One thing that was not missing is the feeling that the fix is in on who the mainstream media thinks should be be the candidates and that should be a concern of everyone who votes in this country. Mike Gravel I think sums up the situation pretty good:

Dems at the Debate

I watched the Democratic debate last night on CNN and was impressed with the choice of candidates despite the "staged" appearance of the the top three Edwards, Clinton and Obama standing next to each other. I think Mike Gravel (who I never saw before ) impressed me most with his "inconvenient truth" comment on the war:"Former senator Mike Gravel (Alaska) accused Democrats of complicity in Iraq. "Sure, it's George Bush's war. But it's the Democrats' war also," he said."
If he's in the New York Primary I'm pulling his lever. As for the others they lost me on there immigration positions especially Bill Richardson.

Bill Richardson dumb as George Bush on illegal immigration

New Mexican Governer and Democratic Presidential candidate Bill Richardson will be on Meet the Press today on NBC. It will be interesting to see if Tim Russert asks him about the pardon he urged George Bush to give fugitive felon Elvira Arellano hiding in plain sight in Chicago and thumbing her nose at U.S. laws.
Russert might also ask him about his comments that he feels Alberto Gonzales should stay on as Attorney General because he is the highest ranking Hispanic in the Bush Administration. File that position by Richardson in the "What the F*#K?" file. Tim should also ask him how do say "racist position" in Spanish?
