Update2: This needs to be fair:Recently, allegations surfaced that Gov. Richardson was “innappropriately touching” aides and even the Lt. Governor. Lt. Gov. Diane Denish said that his habits of poking and touching in public were “a…

-Wasteland Man.

Touchy, feely moments….

I covered Richardson’s odd habit of touching back in Dec 20, 2005 and wondered if his was an adult form of Tourette Syndrome or his “tic” with his continual habit of reaching out and touch someone…er….yeah where he’ll just say “I’m just joking….” just to cover up his, um, touching habits.

I have a limited supply of the blue barf bags they use in ER’s (from the ER, my wife has some gastrointestinal problem no one can figure out). If all else fails quart size ziploc bags do nicely, easy to keep a few in the car.

We all know how this plays out. If he was a Republican, the slightest hint of allegation–even if there’s no actual evidence of wrongdoing–would be enough to have Democrats and semi-pseudo-conservatives wanting to burn him at the stake.

There, that’s more accurate!

I think you came up with the answer. Just before a Republican is “outed” for any wrong doing, he switches party to the Dems. Automatic immunity. After being defended and cleared, he switches back.

Sorry KelliD, after the Scooty Libby verdict, all sold out (agian)………

The only difference in Richardson’s case is that he’s running for President, and his political rivals–who could care less about whether he actually did anything wrong–will try to exploit the situation against him if he becomes a threat to them.

So in other words he’s a lightweight Bill Clinton.

Actually, from the photos, it looks like he could stand to lose a few pounds.

He’s in the back of the pack now, but the front runner this early never wins the primary. He’ll win the primary because he’s an Hispanic with an Anglo name, he’s nowhere near as far to the left as the other dhimmis, he’s been the Ambass to the U.N. and most of all, he’s a state gov’nor.

It’ll be good news for us if he’s the Dem candidate because we can beat him, and if not, well he’s no Hillary/Obama/Edwards far leftwing socialist douchebag … at least from what I know about him. I seem to remember him having problems with Klinton for not being with him on his more lefty ideas. The worst I’ve see on him so far is his opposition to a border wall. But NONE of the dhimms want that anyway.

We gotta get a strong Pubbie in there and hopefully he/she will be running against a moderate Dem. If we get a far lefty Dhimm … we might as well all convert to islam now and get some seniority. Better yet, a civil war.

Bob Packwood called. He wants to retroactively switch parties.

Oh, my GOD!!!!

exit question: if Mickey Kaus knows something about Richardson doing this to women, why doesn’t he or someone else report it? Why the parade of hints?

A “shot across the bow” to all others in the field…….

“Mind your place…..”
