[Political Junkie Too]

Since when?

I notice the difference between when they have a guest, and when they label the guest as a "Fox News Contributor," like they did with Gingrich and D'Amato when they first appeared after leaving office. Several months ago when he first started appearing, Richardson was being introduced as a new "contributor." They may not do that now, but they did when he first started appearing.

He wasn't being asked to defend his record, but was only being asked to comment on the news of the day. This is what I find appalling about what some people refer to as "the government/media complex." Having Richardson on the air and then not grilling him about his role in the Wen Ho Lee nuclear secrets fiasco, his subsequent denial that nuclear secrets were stolen during the Clinton administration, his promise to make changes at the labs, then the Los Alamos missing hard drives, not to mention his role in driving Lewinsky to New York for Revlon job interviews -- basically pretending none of this happened and that he was not a high-ranking Cabinet official overseeing the loss of top secret documents -- was too much for me to stomach.

This gives laundering a new meaning, i.e., cleaning the corrupt reputations of ex-dirty politicians. He'll be pure enough to run for President in the next election cycle.

I agree that Richardson is the one of the worst government officials we have seen in the Klinton administration, and thats saying alot because there were scores of inept and corrupt officials (Reich, Albright, O'Leary, Reno, etc.). So in that regard what he has to say should be questioned because he is obviously a huge f*** up.

Yes! This whole attitude of dragging these bums in and asking for their opinion or take on current events only ADDS A DEGREE OF CREDIBILITY OR LEGITIMACY to the bums....sort of like addressing or re-arranging their 'legacy'! Ticks me off royally.
