br> Clovis, California /p> p> The corpulent chameleon Richardson to be taken seriously? Surely you jest. He reeks of insincerity and deviousness. Shawn, could you not divine this when he leaned into your space and uttered "Shawn" before each faux manly sentiment he shared with you? Such could never be nominated for the highest office in the land. Oh, you want to remind me of Clinton and Kerry -- and Carter, and Johnson and.... Well,l he could never be elected. Could he? br> -- James Wheatley /p> p> The amazing thing about Bill Richardson's Hispanic shuffle is that he is the equivalent of a carpetbagger. He was blessed with that "patron" (overweight) look but was not raised in a Hispanic environment. He has mastered the hustle from the outside. This is the equivalent of a Yankee coming into the south and convincing southerners that he is one of them. Make no mistake about him though he is a politician in a one party state (occasionally there is a Republican governor but the legislature is very Democrat) and he is thoroughly corrupt. Our state government has much in common with a banana republic. Our state ranks in the high forties with respect to all good things (education, income, etc.) and towards the top in all bad things (crime, illegitimacy, etc.). He doesn't play his religion up much in public but is one of those nauseating liberal Catholics that consults his priest about minimum wage laws but doesn't seem to have the slightest problem with tens of millions of aborted babies. Social justice means lots of state money flowing into his friend's pockets. He might give a nice non-partisan talk but can extract revenge on his Republican foes like he has done recently. It is too bad that all Shawn Macomber could do was report on the poppycock at a Mexican restaurant and not even look into what the guy is really about. We expect this kind of lazy reporting from the New York Times but it hurts in The American Spectator . br> -- Clifton Briner br> New Mexico /p>
