He was the Democratic presidential candidate with the funniest ads, and maybe the most experience. And then he was going to be, maybe, secretary of state. But Hillary got that prize. Then he was going to Commerce, but there was some investigation of his office in New Mexico. Now, Bill Richardson just dances and dances and dances to the Mexican turbo-polka, as this secret May 4 video makes so terrifyingly clear. [YouTube via Wonkette Operative "Ellen D."]
Eat your heart out John Travolta.
Well Bill was a good sport, but Cher should probably cut this part of her act out of the rest of her tour.
At the beginning which he clutched at his chest I thought we were going to watch the guy die of a heart attack.
He’s now the president of Beard Club for Men.
So awesome! Bill totally rocks.
And isn’t that (Hispanic-Female) SCOTUS candidate Salma Hayek on the right?
Oh, how quickly one must fall…
Oh, LAWD! My eyes! It burns!!! It BURNS!!!
Wow, Quatro de Mayo parties have some seriously wacky traditions.
“Mexican turbo-polka”
I now have a name for my band.
obfuscator: Ya know what? I think “mexican turbo-polka” should enter the American lexicon after TODAY! That is a GREAT word to define that sort of music. I’m gonna start saying that when I hear “Mexican Tejano / Disco” stuff.
Meh, all Bill EVER wanted to be was somebody’s bitch. Loser.
Who’s the dude on the left waving big coils of phone wire up in the air Why do they seem to be in a tent?
Politicians should not dance. Ever.
I’m just glad he grew the beard back.
hamletta: That’s no beard. It’s cinnamon.
i love him for having more balls than the next 100 guys. he is the one you want to hang out with all night, because his manshit will never get in the way of a good time.
go bill, here’s a doughnut.
Let’s review: Richardson/Cher - endurable:: Rove/David Gregory - not
get on the bueno foot and do the malo thing!!!

Whose head will explode first? Bill Richardson or Rush Limbaugh? Seeing as how Bill’s is just filling up with fat around his brains while Rush’s ganglia is being increasingly squeezed by prodigious amounts of opiate residue and Dominican ladyboy semen, the smart money is on Rush.
May the 4th be with you, Bill.
Ken Layne: HA! Can you win your own thread?
Why, yes. Yes, you can.
Best of all, he’s a bad dancer, following the Hallmark sentiment to dance like no one is looking. Unfortunately for his career and the public who would have benefitted from his service, he’s acted too much like no one’s looking.
Lascauxcaveman: I have to admit that one made me laugh so hard my cheeks still hurt. Actually they probably hurt because of that spanking I received earlier.
What now?
Does anybody here remember Richardson?
Remember how he said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Bill! Bill!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do?
V572625694: That’s Judd Gregg.
Sucks not being in the cabinet.
Custerwolf: Cinnamon. It’s inherently funny!
Good to see that the choreographic tradition of Jackie “Away We Go!” Gleason lives on in New Mexico. That’s more energy from Bill than I saw in an entire 2008 campaign speech, when the Perry Como tradition dominated him and Kucinich’s wife in an interesting halter top inspired no turbo in his polka whatsoever.
Does he do Bar Mitzvahs?
I’ve seen mexicans dance before, and that’s no mexician. I think he must be a nuevo meixican
This is how folks end up when they don’t play ball. I’m talking to you, Arlen.
allainjules: I don’t want to tell anyone how to do their job, but allainjules, you should be banned. While you are harmless, you contribute nothing, ever, and just pimp your blog or whatever the hell it is, which is in French, which is fine except this blog is in English, and your blog thingy is never relevant to the discussion. I would not shed a tear should we never see you again.
hobospacejunkie: Pas trop vite avec le banhammer, mon ami.
gurukalehuru: Just pointing out that he drops his little bombs in the midst of snark every day for no apparent reason. I see little difference between this & spam. But I’m not trying to tell anyone how to do their job. Just thought I could get away with a little steam blowing in the middle of the night when no one’s watching.
… your white AZ suite will fit, or your money back … its guaranteed.
Is this a deleted scene from the Star Wars cantina?
So again don’t let my lyrics mislead you
I don’t love you but I need you
Would you rather have me lie
Take a piece of your pie and say bye
Or be honest and rub your thighs
dah dat da dah dahh … Bill …
dah dat da dah dahh ….Suave
gurukalehuru: Le banhammer est le nouveau noir.
That’s the problem with ‘dance as if no one is watching’. There’s usually some fucker out there taking video and…Youtube! It’s a plague worse than pork fever, I tell ya.
V572625694: I thought they were Hula Hoops.
Where did she see the “robot”? It was obviously the “locomotion”.
I found him. He was on Craigslist S.A. Older man seeking younger woman for friendship and moviegoing. Apparently I don’t have to do anything else until I’m “ready.”
Ken Layne: Cinnamon? What, they were bobbing for apples in a tub of Abuelita?
the dance of a man who has little left to lose
ohhhh! Peggy Noonan is attempting her dramatic monologues as coy commentary on “Morning Joe” over at MSNBC this morning. I’m gonna have to drink a pot o’coffee before I’m ready to watch that shit. Actually, I don’t think I couldn’t handle her until about 6:00 pm for some cheap tv dinner theater. Her shit is so over the top she should have to do interpretive dance with her prose? I mean… COME ON… who speaks like that?!!?
?senor David Brent?

V572625694: Carlos Santana-Castaneda?
x111e7thst: Le banhammer est dans the camping-car pour le weekend, et va retourner la semaine prochaine.
ALIVE!: Merde … le camping-car.
I wonder why he’s the greatest dancer?
He seems to go into defibrillation at around 0:03 seconds.
That’s not the turbo-polka, people. It’s the Funky Chicken, with a dose of hot coals dropped down his undies for good measure.
Ken Layne: Churros!
Bust a move!
Mr Blifil: That’s just somebody switching on his vibrating buttplug, not to worry.
V572625694: I just assumed that this was a Santa Muerte tent revival, the guy in the white suit was the sacrificial virgin, and the guy with the hula hoops couldn’t afford a real tambourine.
I just like it that she’s saying “Ho! Ho! Ho!” while he’s dancing. Pretty ballsy of her, when the Gov tries to leave the stage she tells him to stay…and he does!
JANA MASHONEE IS SO HOT!!! can’t believe she got billy to bust out da stanky legg
Did I just get “Bill-roll’d”?
Man, i miss Boris Yeltsin.
