Wow, that’s a pretty scathing article. I don’t know how much of it is true, but Richardson certainly has a teddy bear image that seems to serve him well-—generally.

Richardson and I “met” via a phone call from him in 1979. I was a New Mexico business executive whose name was periodically in the papers as a nuclear energy advocate. He was a recent carpet-bagger who picked the state as a good prospect to elect him to the U.S. House and was looking for campaign support. When that 10-minute call ended, I thought to myself: the man is a pandering liar. I met him personally at a friend’s home a few weeks later, where he and his wife were passing out palm cards. The first “promise” on the palm card was directly opposite to the main point he emphasized in our earlier conversation, thus affirming my first impression. I have never encountered another individual whose bad character was so instantly obvious to me yet so apparently opaque to many others.

It wasn’t until his taking office in 2003 as New Mexico’s governor, however, that he revealed himself to be a dictator as well. Illustrative of his hubris was his immediate move to replace his predecessor’s appointees on boards (e.g., university regents) to which they had been constitutionally appointed to constitutionally set terms. He simply demanded their resignations, then replaced them with appointees who, again on demand, signed undated letters of resignation which could be dated and “accepted” if, as, and when the dictator chose for any reason whatsoever.

Clinton wanna-be.

Doesn’t seem a little strange, Blagojevich indicted and now impeached. Richardson indicted for “Pay for Play” yet no talk of impeachment.
Guess it pays to be on the side of Obama....
