By the time you read this, Tim Russert will have already spiked his ball in Bill Richardson’s end zone, done a little dance, and kissed Bill’s girlfriend on the 50 yard line in front of god and everybody.

This morning’s Meet The Press interview (transcript now available) excoriated Richardson from his role in Los Alamos where he was forced to admit that he lied about protecting nuclear secrets; Iraq – where he laid out his 85-point plan for surrender and how he was constantly exploiting a woman who lost her son in his stump speeches. A woman who has repeatedly asked him to stop. – (Russert nailed him like a two dollar whore with a 50 cent coupon on that one); Illegal Immigration – where he condemned the current legislative abortion for not giving illegals enough; The Environment – where Billy boy talked about wind and solar but then had to equivocate working for Big Oil after mining his Energy post with the Clintons for some of that Black Gold.

Mind you, Iraq has really distracted us from fighting bigger threats like global warming, so says the 2008 Presidential candidate. Echoing the street cry of the Radical Eco-secularists although he also touts nuclear energy as a major alternative.

Richardson is the worst kind of politician. The one with no vision beyond his own ambition and is willing to put anyone and everyone in danger to gain power. A weasel-wording equivocator who will never answer a question with a “yes” or “no”. In other words, the perfect candidate.

Who’s his favorite baseball team? Today’s answer: The Red Sox. Russert points out that in his book, his favorite team is The Yankees.

All those northerners look alike to me too, Bill. No foul there I’m sure!

Thank you Tim, for a masterful takedown using Richardson’s own words and broken record against him. It was brutal and savage and the only thing I am positive of is that Richardson will likely be picked up for speeding (again) on his way to a burn ward.

The only thing runny in my breakfast this morning was a tear of laughter at Hillary Clinton’s future Vice Presidential selection.

I await many denunciations of Big & Rich’s ill-treatment at the hands of Republican Operative Russert.

WEASEL WATCH UPDATE: (hat tip – Real Clear Politics)

And in this corner – The Kossacks:

Tim Russert is going to focus on every contradictory statement you’ve ever made. You need to be prepared for that.

When Russert (or anyone) asks you about why your statement today is different from your statement two years ago, you have to give a decisive answer. When shown two different statements and asked if you’ve changed your mind, you need to say YES, I’ve changed my mind because _______. Slipping and sliding and somersaulting around is not the way to go.

When the mother of an Iraq casualty is mad at you, give her the benefit of the doubt and back off. Be crisp and clear. Don’t verbally meander.

Long post, short – she’ll vote for weasel-wording, gold plated liar anyway. Shocker.

Some other Donk fan who may or may not be related to John McEnroe:

I kind of like Bill Richardson on some of the issues, especially energy, where he even has the guts to tell voters they might have to sacrifice. The s-word.

Although I do have to wonder how committed Richardson is personally to sacrifice and whether he is running his air conditioning while speeding his motorcade 120 miles per hour down the interstate repeatedly.

After today, though, I’m not sure it matters whether anybody likes Bill Richardson or not, although his ruinous, check-engine-light interview on “Meet the Press” may escape widespread viewing, owing to the holiday.

I have to assume that, when they cut to a break, Richardson vomited into a waste basket. It was that bad. If this interview gets circulated very much at all, he could have screwed his chances for a presidential OR vice-presidential nomination in about 30 minutes. Talk about sacrifice.

Agreed.

Some other fool. It’s sad to see poor, old Bill Richardson dressed down like this cause he reminds me of the Maytag repairman. Boohoo, Mr. Iowa “Republican”.

Waaah. Bill Richardson’s website doesn’t make it easier for me to shill for him and they would have taken it easier on Obama.
