And While I'm on the Topic of Democrats

I will beg, one more time, for everyone to please just ignore Bill Richardson.

The guy is such a tool and when I see him in print or on television, it makes my toes curl, wondering why the press doesn't just leave him alone.

Last night, he was on with Matthews jabbering away about how he's not sure if he is interested in the Secretary of State position, since he just got through the rigors of the veep vetting process.

What's that, you didn't know that he was being vetted and a strong contender?

Well, neither did anyone else.

But he went out of his way to assure the New York Times that he was. See, when he didn't see his name in the press, he asked Barry about it and was assured that he was being considered. This call, Bill again makes a point of telling us, took place when Obama dialed Richardson directly...as he always does.

We get it, Bill, you wear big boy pants, now. We'll just forget the possibility that they told you you were being vetted to make you feel better and more inclined to be a good little soldier come fall when they'll need your help campaigning en el oeste.
