So Bill Richardson has withdrawn his bid to be Commerce Secretary in Obama's cabinet, due to ethics investigations that will dog him and his staff for months, it appears.
Funny thing--even this, something Obama supporters you would think would not want to see (don't they want a smooth transition to an Obama cabinet? Don't they want big-name Democrats such as Bill Richardson free from possible taint?) sent a progressive acquaintance of mine chortling in glee. See, he said, people serving with Obama don't want even a HINT of corruption in an Obama administration, and if there is one, they're out, immediately! Isn't that wonderful???
Here's the response: so why did Obama appoint this guy in the first place?
