Another politician bites the dust!

Bill Richardson, who was President-elect Obama's choice for Commerce Secretary, suddenly withdrew from consideration from that post, after it was revealed that a federal investigation was under way into ties he had to a company that has done business with his state.

So we go from pride to a Histino receiving a high office appointment within the administration, to the usual low that politicians give us when they let us down.

My question is, wasn't Richardson running for President at one point? Did he not think these supposed shady dealings would get out? No entiendo la estupides de nuestro politicos!!

    Sometimes these politicians think that they are above the law.
    Also, didn't Obama's team pick that up while they were checking him out?

    You would think they would. I guess the fact that he also was running for President gave them a sense of certainty that he had no skeletons.....then again, John Edwards also ran for President, so scrap that thought. :-)
