Neither one of those fellas wants to be splattered with the pile of feces that are those documents.
Richardson probably wants to be senator some day so he can move the hell out of NM and never come back. And so he can stop having to wear those stupid bolo ties.
Perry is W's man, and recognizes a pile of dog crap for what it is. Besides, He's having public opinion troubles there, and if he wants to run for senate, He's got to keep on the good side of right thinking Texans.
Sillygate.
Both fit the description of a lying sociopath.
yeah, that's my Senator.
I love the smell of DNC tears on 3 November!
Ok folks, lets be honest here.
We know we caught them red handed, but who amongst us truly believes anyone will lose their jobs or at least be held to account for these lies?
I love the smell of DNC tears on 3 November!
Awww, cm'on Bill! Whassa matter? Don't have your daily talking points yet? Must be a computer malfunction......hehehehehehe.
Richardson needs to go and be a college president somewhere that no one will ever hear from him again and he can feel important and have a state car to drive.
He knew that if He supported these docs in any substantive way, He would be painted into a corner with the rest of the DNC gang.
They're like a bunch of ostriches hiding their heads in their "IBM Executive" typwriters!
Hahaha. Just gonna kick back today and laugh at all the jokes.
Rush just said that the memo's were in the hands of the DNC over a month ago, and were passed over to THE KERRY CAMPAIGN!!!
So the DNC (=Clintons/McAuliffe) was the source, and the hapless, desperate Kerry campaign ran with it (via CBS). They were duped by their own people! LOL! Sweet!
You know what they say "if something seems too good to be true it probably is"....I'm still scared this is somehow going to blow up in our face. Until I actually hear Dan Rather apologize for using forged documents I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic.
Paging Susan Estrich. Paging Ms. Estrich. You are wanted at the CBS News building.

"My Democratic friends are mad as hell, and they aren't going to take it any more.
They are worried, having watched as another August smear campaign, full of lies and half-truths, takes its toll in the polls.
They are frustrated, mostly at the Kerry campaign, for naively believing that just because all the newspapers and news organizations that investigated the charges of the Swift Boat assassins found them to be full of lies and half-truths, they wouldn't take their toll. The word on the street is that Kerry was ready to fire back the day the story broke, but that his campaign, believing the charges would blow over if they ignored them, counseled restraint.
But most of all, activist Democrats are angry. As one who lived through an August like this, 16 years ago - replete with rumors that were lies, which the Bush campaign claimed they had nothing to do with and later admitted they had planted - I'm angry, too. I've been to this movie. Lies move numbers.
Remember the one about Dukakis suffering from depression after he lost the governorship? We lost six points over that lie, planted by George W.'s close friend and colleague in the 1988 campaign, Lee Atwater. Or how about the one about Kitty Dukakis burning a flag at an anti-war demonstration, another out-and-out lie, which the Bush campaign denied having anything to do with, except that it turned out to have come from a United States senator via the Republican National Committee? Atwater later apologized to me for that, too, on his deathbed. Did I mention that Lee's wife is connected to the woman running the Swift Boat campaign?
What do you do, Democrats keep asking each other.
The answer is not pretty, but everyone knows what it is.
The trouble with Democrats, traditionally, is that we're not mean enough. Too much is at stake to play by Dukakis' rules and lose again. That is the conclusion Democrats have reached. So watch out. Millions of dollars will be on the table. And there are plenty of choices for what to spend it on.
Will it be the three, or is it four or five, drunken driving arrests that Bush and Cheney, the two most powerful men in the world, managed to rack up?
After Vietnam, nothing is ancient history, and Cheney is still drinking. What their records suggest is not only a serious problem with alcoholism, which Bush but not Cheney has acknowledged, but also an even more serious problem of judgment.
What if Bush were to fall off the wagon? Then what? Has America really faced the fact that we have an alcoholic as our president?
Or how about Dead Texans for Truth, highlighting those who served in Vietnam instead of the privileged draft-dodging president, and ended up as names on the wall instead of members of the Air National Guard.
Or maybe it will be Texas National Guardsmen for Truth, who can explain exactly what George W. Bush was doing while John Kerry was putting his life on the line. Perhaps with money on the table, or investigators on their trail, we will learn just what kind of wild and crazy things the president was doing while Kerry was saving a man's life, facing enemy fire and serving his country.
Or could it be George Bush's Former Female Friends for Truth. A forthcoming book by Kitty Kelley raises questions about whether the president has practiced what he preaches on abortion. As Larry Flynt discovered, a million dollars loosens lips. Are there others to be loosened?
Are you shocked? Remember Dukakis? Now he teaches at Northeastern University. John Kerry has been very fair in dealing with the Swift Boat charges. That's why so many of my Democrat friends have decided to stop talking to the campaign, and start putting money together independently.
The arrogant little Republican boys who strutted around New York this week, claiming that they have this one won, would do well to take a step back. It could be a long and ugly road to November."
CNN interview with WaSH Post reporter Dobbs. Lot's of talk about "proportionate spacing," But Dobbs says the document is clearly different than other NG documents produced in that era, and the document is suspect.
Said He spoke with Killian's widow, "hubby wasn't a paper person."
"The onus is on 60 minutes to provide documentation as to where they came from and they need to name the experts who authenticated the docs."
Fat chance...
And yet, I sense SOMEONE's career is circling the bowl.
