Gov. Richardson withdraws from Sec. of Commerce slot
I don't like Bill Richardson. I've never liked Bill Richardson. I'm never going to like Bill Richardson. He's a weasel. With a little luck he'll be an indicted and prosecuted weasel put in a cage for a while.

Gov. Bill Richardson announced Sunday he has withdrawn his name for the position of Secretary of Commerce, citing a pending investigation into a company that has done business with the state.
President-elect Barack Obama said with regret he accepted the governor's decision and has begun looking for a replacement.
"We must move quickly to fill the void left by Governor Richardson's decision," Obama said Sunday.
A federal grand jury is investigating how a California company that contributed to Richardson's political activities won a lucrative New Mexico state contract.
