Can Bill Richardson Share Some Experience With Barack Obama?

Friday, March 21st, 2008

It’s strange, sort of, that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson would endorse Barack Obama right now. True, Richardson is a psychotically ambitious career-builder who likes to keep his name in the papers. And someone like Richardson only sees an endorsement as a bargaining chip for an appointed position, because he loves nothing more than bragging about his resume. Job, jobs, jobs, look at all the jobs I’ve had, blah blah, make me President because of my jobs, so then I can get more new jobs. So what job did kindly Obama throw his way, and can Richardson’s job experience help undecided voters trust Obama? MORE »


Hillary Is President of New Mexico!

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Barack’s win streak is over at eight! In a sense! After a long, winding, self-indulgent speech, a New Mexico Democratic official — Brian “Listening To You Is Worse Than Having Cancer Of The” Colon — just declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the state’s caucuses, which were held on Super Tuesday. So it actually happened before Barack’s eight-state win streak, but who’s counting! Expect a huge Hillary spin rally in the near future, with lots of mariachi children gently strumming in the background. [CNN]


NM State Employee Penalized For Hilarious Obama Bashing

Monday, January 14th, 2008

barrypraying.jpgAn employee of New Mexico’s “State Land Office” is facing reprimand for sending a scurrilous office e-mail sliming Barry Hussein’s obvious Muslim heritage. It was sent from the e-mail account of John Maes, the office’s “royalty revenue accountant.” Anyone else smell a Tory plot at play? Burn his children! MORE »


Bill Richardson Using Slavery For Final Push

Friday, December 7th, 2007

of course i want fries with thatIf you’re a state employee somewhere that isn’t New Mexico, consider yourself lucky — at least you don’t have some tubby loser of a boss enslaving you! Said overseer is teh Messican candidate Bill Richardson, who is asking his employees to take some time off during the holidays to campaign for him in Iowa.

Former Arizona Governor Joins UFO-Sighting Craze

Friday, November 9th, 2007

fife.JPGAliens were big enough of an issue at the Democratic debate two weeks ago that Tim Russert decided to end the night with a discussion of them. But even if you laughed at Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson discussing their UFO sightings in their attempts to make themselves even less unelectable, they’ve now got more political verification — this time, from ex-Arizona Governor Fife Symington (”Fife,” yes), who claimed he saw a UFO in 1997. Arizona is like the rich man’s New Mexico, so if you didn’t believe Bill Richardson, you better start paying attention now. MORE »

Bill Richardson Shocker: New Mexico Spaceport Looks Like a Giant Vagina!

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

omg that's a giant vagina! or a bedpan! - Wonkette
Bill Richardson’s longshot presidential campaign is in turmoil today after shocking pictures of New Mexico’s “Virgin Spaceport” reveal that it looks like a big pussy. Or maybe a giant bedpan. Or some pussy/bedpan combination. Richardson has been hyping his role in getting Virgin Galactic to build the spaceport in New Mexico, and now all the world knows what he’s really building.

Developer gives Bill Richardson more than $100k and a private plane, suddenly gets contract for New Mexico Transportation Department headquarters project. Funny how that happens, isn’t it? Also, boring. Richardson can’t even get involved in an interesting scandal. Except for all the womanizing stuff which we’d presumably be hearing about if he was actually polling above like 3% or whatever. [ABQjournal]
