Video: So, Bill, how’d Hillary take the news that you’re endorsing Obama?
posted at 8:15 pm on March 21, 2008 by Allahpundit
Seven-plus minutes of back-slapping boilerplate, but skip ahead to 4:00 or so and picture Sissy Spacek. Quite the betrayal. Quite the glorious, glorious betrayal.
Sounds like Ed thinks we have a potential ticket in the making here. I hew to the KP/Limbaugh line that two minorities on the ballot might be a tad too much “change” to be viable with some independents. Especially in light of those poll numbers today.

What a joke! Two children adoring one another. So touchy-feely I just may cry. There is no leadership ability in either one of those two. Amazing how ignorant much of America really is.

Love Guillermo’s goatee. So latin looking. Is he hispanic?
JiangxiDad on March 21, 2008 at 8:21 PM
A little intense, a little heated. Heh, I bet!
As an aside, Obama shouldn’t sit next to a bearded Richardson. Richardson looks major alpha male and Obama looks like a youthful beta.
Spirit of 1776 on March 21, 2008 at 8:23 PM
I think Ellen DeGeneris has most of the qualities Obama needs in a Dem. VP.
JiangxiDad on March 21, 2008 at 8:23 PM
It could be worse. Juan Hernandez could be sitting in Richardson’s place. Unfortunately for him, McCain already has a grip on Juan. Isn’t this so depressing?
geminicontender on March 21, 2008 at 8:24 PM
Operation Chaos in full swing… We are watching the “slow death” of a truly mean and nasty woman. We are watching the mask get peeled off the Democrat Party one layer at a time; slowly now, don’t want this soap opera to end quickly…
Watching this unfold truly gives hope to the old saying “what goes around comes around”…
Keemo on March 21, 2008 at 8:27 PM
What is so depressing?
terryannonline on March 21, 2008 at 8:28 PM
Yes he is Hispanic… your point?
terryannonline on March 21, 2008 at 8:29 PM
Richardson badly needs a haircut.
jgapinoy on March 21, 2008 at 8:30 PM
Because Mr. Hernandez is a bit more concerned about Mexican than American interests. Not an issue of ethnicity, issue of political goals.
Spirit of 1776 on March 21, 2008 at 8:31 PM
MY point??? LMAO Terryann!
JiangxiDad on March 21, 2008 at 8:31 PM
Just the McCain/Hernandez relationship is depressing. The rest is great. Operation Chaos as Keemo mentioned is truly enjoyable to watch. Everyday.

I’m pretty sure he meant it as a joke..because Richardson, himself, had to point out he was hispanic in the clip.

Sorry if I jumped on you but I didn’t know what you were getting at with that comment.

poor job as pres. candidate.
but great VP (dream ticket).
BO looked horrified siting next to him (which is nice).

Thank you… I sense underlying imagery and subtleties in the expression.
It’s not nice.
I regret the question.
I am not sorry I’m now aware of these expressions, though.
It is inappropriate to use this to describe a bona fide presidential candidates and state governors, and if we don’t stand up when we hear bad things, we’ll end up like some dork in a pew listening to hate disguised as Christianity.
And that would be bad.
heldmyw on March 21, 2008 at 9:19 PM
profitsbeard nailed it the other night, when he referenced Eugen Ionescu (one of my few noteworthey compatriots), the master of the Theater of the Absurd. The liberals are providing plenty.
The Richardson saga is just another act.
The irony of the liberals’ self-immolation by identity-politics is thicker and sweeter than molasses.

Seven Percent Solution on March 21, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Richardson’s not so dumb. He grew his hair and goatee/beard out, exchanged his white shirt for working man’s checks, and attaches himself to the Dem’s 2008 Pres. nominee. He knows Obama’s not gonna win. But what was he supposed to do, stick with that loser Hillary? He’s setting himself up for 2012. Not dumb at all.
JiangxiDad on March 21, 2008 at 9:30 PM

You don’t look Hispanic. You look like Al Gore.

F15Mech on March 21, 2008 at 9:36 PM
Surely you jest.
Bichardson could look like John Wayne and still wouldn’t be qualified to tie an alpha male’s shoes.
With his newly black dyed beard (it was a scraggly gray thing a month ago) he looks like the ‘nice’ Cartman from the reverse parallel universe I saw on a South Park rerun a day or two ago.

JustTruth101 on March 21, 2008 at 9:43 PM
My sentiments exactly. Where do the Dems dig up these pitiful excuses for reasoning?
Obama is going to undo the “damage” that George Bush has done in foreign policy??? Right, Obama. You appear to be conspicuously absent from your European Subcommittee on the Foreign Relations Committee. You haven’t convened yet as far as the Congress knows. (I guess that Obama isn’t aware of the renewed engagement that France and Germany have with our goals vis a vis Islamoterrorism.)
Around my kitchen table (and those of folks that I know), we talk about how the Lefties are undermining our successes in Iraq, not about retreat from victory.
She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed must be cackling as she launches into Plan R (for Richardson).

Richardson backs a second loser in this campaign season.
First himself, now Obama.

Bill now gets to spend the next two months shuttling between Santa Fe and campaigning in Spanish for Obama in Puerto Rico. I think he did it just because fuel costs have driven Caribbean cruise ship prices so high this spring.
jon1979 on March 21, 2008 at 11:13 PM
Since Bill’s political timing has been pretty awful lately, could this be another bad omen for Candidate Obama?
Speakup on March 21, 2008 at 11:14 PM
So how is it all going to end ? Will there be opposing gangs of thugs in the streets of Denver flinging rocks or molotovs at each other ? What happens if Bush has to nationalize the Colorado National Guard to put down the insurrection ? Will Hillary be on national television at 3:00 a.m. demanding that the President stop interfering in internal Donk party politics ? This has the potential of making 1968 look like child’s play.

Mojack420 on March 21, 2008 at 11:33 PM
So this means we can play an endless loop of Richardson’s gaffes on the campaign trail during the general? I might end up allergic to popcorn when this is finally over.

This has got to be devastating to Hillary,
there has been so much water under the

Nancy’s house is still not clean,the corruption
scandals amounted to about ten liberals!
Add in do overs and Denver is going to

LegendHasIt on March 21, 2008 at 11:58 PM
Richardson is a back stabbing coward. He waited until it was obvious that one candidate would win and then threw his “support” his way. Yeah, right. El Beardo thinks Obama would make a great President. If he believes that, he’s the idiot I think he is. If he doesn’t, he’s the posing coward I think he is. Either way… he’s a tool.

this is wonderful because it further divides the dem party. But Richardson is a joke! Every debate he had to beg for speaking time and the talked up his experience as though he were trying to convince himself that he was qualified. Ombama couldn’t spit out “PREMATURE” fast enough! LOL!
ctmom on March 22, 2008 at 11:07 AM
If Fauxbama ever tires of dancing around what he really meant by “typical white people,” he can always explain why his soon to be veep pick felt it necessary to pad his resume with baseball exploits. Two losers in a pod.
Western_Civ on March 22, 2008 at 3:09 PM
I have never heard nor read any comments made by Gov. Richardson that would indicate any love for Mexico over America. I think your assertion reveals more about you than about Richardson.
***
Your language here is offensive. I hope you get banned.

The Republican party has been focused on identity politics since the inception of the 08 campaign. We are muddy with the filth.
We would have done very well to leave this crap to the Dems. Because as bad as they are, we always seem to make ourselves look worse.
Is it possible for Republicans to express themselves without sounding like Bl@ckbird or other resident bigots?
I think our tonedeafness on issues of culture and race will cost us now and in the future. After this election, the black electorate will be more fully engaged, as will Hispanics. We need a true representation of our minority numbers to be reflected at the polls or we will struggle as a party forever.
As long as we must fight to increase our numbers, we cannot consolidate and solidify a STRONG Republican platform. The current wave of right-lite policies and posturing is damaging. We are running like moderates because we need to pander to the middle in order to win.
Drop the incendiary, race-baiting and focus on real Republican values and ideals.
