Aside from his family, he generally won’t be missed.

Will the Oakland A’s observe a moment of silence in his honor?

Gov. Admits Baseball Tale Untrue



"After being notified of the situation (by Journal reporter Toby Smith) and after researching the matter ... I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's," Richardson said.

Bill Clinton’s fixer in the Lewinsky affair. Falsely claimed he had been drafted by the Kansas City Athletics. Ticked the Clintons off when he withdrew his endorsement of Hillary for President, to endorse Obama. Had to withdraw his nomination in 2009 for Sec. of Commerce due to a federal investigation of a Pay-for-Play scheme with his PAC, and awarding contracts and projects to political donors. In 2019, he was named in the lawsuit of Virginia Roberts Giuffre.

I think Vernon Jordan was more of a fixer.

"Bill Richardson always was concerned with helping others—like when he got Monica a job...."

Maybe Bill and Vernon Jordan can commiserate in Hell over their job offers to Lewinsky. Both fixers for Bill Clinton.

"He lived his entire life in the service of others"

The others being his political donors.

He was a democrat...that’s all I need to know. However, as governor of New Mexico, he signed their concealed carry law which makes him an old school democrat and a total outcast in today’s democrat partei. I’ll give him that.

The Left hates anyone who is a threat - how would Jimmy Buffet be a threat to them when he unfailingly supported their fake causes and corrupt politicians?

Oops! Wrong thread - but my rhetorical question is pretty much the same for Richardson.

...Right now our focus is on supporting his family, including his wife Barbara of over 50 years, who was with him when he passed.....

That's good, since he died in his sleep.

I don’t know much about Buffett politically, was he really that active?

He kept a position open at the UN mission in NY, hoping to get her to accept it and move there post haste, so she would be outside the 100 mile subpoena reach of the grand jury sitting in DC. He went to Lewinsky’s mother’s residence in the Watergate complex to interview her. She as offered the job, but was not willing to accept it at a paltry 90k/year (1997 $’s.) The UN Ambassador? Yeah, he always goes to the homes of job candidate to interview them in person.

Good riddance to Mr. Richardson.
