Who needs network reality TV when you can watch the Democrats disgrace themselves in a show I like to call “Pay to Play.” The latest episode features New Mexico Governor and Obama-pick for (ironically) Commerce Secretary Bill Richardson, who withdrew his nomination amid reports he is under investigation for another seemingly all too common political quid pro quo.
From Governor Rod, to Rangel, to Rezko (I could go on) a theme is developing: Obama’s got some ethically challenged friends and Democrats don’t bring reform, they bring scandal.
Obama is a product of the deeply corrupt Illinois political machine. Have we ever heard him emphatically point the finger at its moral failings? No. Was his gut reaction to chastise his pastor, spiritual mentor and “uncle” Reverend Wright for white hate, sexism and anti-American rants? Nope. Has he called for disgraced Congressman Charlie Rangel to step down from his powerful committee chairmanship? Not once. It took him days to denounce Blago and when he did he was “saddened.” His response to Richardson? More melancholy. –This is the future office of the presidency not a Hallmark “After School” special!

It says they don’t give a damn about the United States.
Obama was in a tough spot. Richardson’s betrayal of Hillary Clinton had to be worth something.
According to the MSM it’s only a “culture of corruption” when Republicans are caught.
More news they will just shrug off.
It reminds us that OB’s an immigrant.
We are known by the company we keep.
CROOKS....
“what does richardson news say about obama?”
that he’s just a victim of coikumstance.
First, take note everyone, Andrea Tantaros is a grade A babe! She’s beautiful. My kind of girl. No kidding. The kind of girl I used to dream about until I married a girl that looks similar to Andrea Tantaros.
We always knew that Barack Obama was dirty from the pals he always surrounded himself with and from his politics. The guy is dirty.
Great story from Ms. Tantaros.
Richardson’s not so bad, as Donks go, and I’ll give him credit for jumping, getting pushed, whatever. At least he’s gone, unlike Bawney Fwank, Dodd, and the others who have a cloud over them.
Richardson probably is considered clean compared to Chicago politics.
