Richardson Serves Up a Beauty updated below & bumped (from a.m.)
Weirdest quote of the season:
“Iowa, for good reason, for constitutional reasons, for reasons
related to the Lord should be the first caucus and primary,” Richardson,
New Mexico’s governor said at the Northwest Iowa Labor Council Picnic.
“And I want you to know who was the first candidate to sign a pledge
not to campaign anywhere if they got ahead of Iowa. It was Bill Richardson.”
It’s even worse than his assessment that we can I Dream of Jeannie
our way out of Iraq. However, saying we can get out of Iraq in six months is
certainly working for Richardson, with a “no residual forces” pledge
on top as the whipped cream. That is if you can call being
compared to Dennis Kucinich a way to the White House.
Frankly, I used to think Bill Richardson was vice presidential material. Now I’m even questioning that.
P.S.: Benny and I obviously agree on this one.
UPDATE II: See my Hot Topics post on Richardson bloopers, with a h/t to Markos (and make sure you see his post, too, if you haven’t already). Richardson, when asked, didn’t even know anything about the supplemental. Yet this guy wants to take all the troops out of Iraq, leaving no residual forces at all, and people are following, no, trumpeting this guy. Pandering isn’t policy.
UPDATE: Someone tell Richardson to stop while he’s… never mind. The guy is a disaster.
“That was an off-the-cuff comment about the importance of Iowa. This was an Iowa crowd — I’m trying to score points, I’m moving up in the polls. So I don’t consider that a mistake — that was an off-the-cuff comment, and I stand very strongly behind the fact that Iowa and New Hampshire should be first.”
