Since this thing is back, will somebody explain what Hillary Clinton ever did for Bill Richardson?

[BuyingThyme]

Is the argument simply that Hillary, as a wife, is simply an extension of her husband -- the husband who appointed Bill Richardson United Nations Ambassador?

Any info appreciated.

1. Richardson looked at Clinton and Obama logically & dispassionately

And came to the conclusion that Obama was the better candidate.

In response the Clinton camp vilified him, insulted him & has attempted to marginalize him.

The clintons are just being sore losers.

7. no, be real... Richardson made a calculated bet and a political move.

2. Maybe they are like the Borg.

:shrug:

3. The Clintons see A Hillary Presidency as a continuation of Bill's

Its part of their thinking its "her turn", and as a result they probably cant understand how some people cant see it too.

4. They used to have a system like that in England.

5. Yes. That's it. Bill and Bill watched the Super Bowl, ergo Hillary is due an endorsement. nt

6. You have it right Richardson "THE THING" on I-40

8. Don't you realize that she was in the vicinity when Bill

appointed Richardson? I mean she deserves credit for it, as does Chelsea even though she was just a child back then. Oh yeah, don't forget their cooks and maids and drivers. They were in the vicinity too and obviously deserve Richardson's undying loyalty.

9. How do we know what she gets credit for and what she doesn't?

[DevonRex]

11. Or if there's any basis for the credit she takes, too. nt

15. She was also in the vicinity when WJC got a BJ from Monica. I don't....

....think she should continue on with that argument.

10. Not enough it seems. Politician that he is.

[kwenu]

12. Yes. Hillary is co-president until she gets caught in a policy conundrum. Then she's just a wife.

[wrando]

13. it's what she didn't do

During the debates or in interviews she didn't describe him as a fat moron with no particular talent

16. So...

If he in fact is a fat moron with no particular talent why would she want his endorsement??

[wrando]

17. she probably didn't care

I think Bill thought he owed him that, but his endorsement isn't worth much, he kind of made an ass of himself during the debates.

14. Hillary is her own woman.

Except when Bill feels someone owes him a political debt.
