    President 2008 Watch: Bill Richardson Lies About DRAFT Record (Baseball Draft)

    November 24, 2005 /

    The ASSociated Press has N.M. Gov Admits He Wasn’t Baseball Pick

    Gov. Bill Richardson is coming clean on his draft record – the baseball draft, that is, admitting that his claim to have been a pick of the Kansas City A’s in 1966 was untrue.

    For nearly four decades, Richardson, often mentioned as a possible Democratic presidential candidate, has maintained he was drafted by the Kansas City Athletics.

    The claim was included in a brief biography released when Richardson successfully ran for Congress in 1982. A White House news release in 1997 mentioned it when he was about to be named U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. And several news organizations, including The Associated Press, have reported it as fact over the years.

    But an investigation by the Albuquerque Journal found no record of Richardson being drafted by the A’s, who have since moved to Oakland, or any other team.

    Richardson should fit right in as a running mate for Hillary.

    Bill (Clinton) couldn’t remember details of his DRAFT record either.

    Stanley “Tookie” Williams Watch: FLAP Over “Tookie Must Die”

    November 24, 2005 /

    A news conference dissolves into a shouting match Wednesday in Los Angeles after radio host John Ziegler, right, confronts activists John Jackson, center, and Shaka Satori, left, as they protest the “Tookie Must Die” show on KFI-AM.

    The Orange County Register has Williams’ supporters decry radio show

    Supporters of Stanley “Tookie” Williams, the street gang leader and convicted killer facing execution in three weeks, have filed a federal complaint against a Los Angeles radio station for a “Tookie Must Die” campaign by two talk-show hosts.

    The Federal Communications Commission complaint, dated Tuesday, charges “racist and inflammatory statements” by KFI AM talk-show hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou and comes amid an escalating political battle over Williams, who has been embraced by anti-death-penalty activists and some celebrities.

    The complaint is specious.

    Flap says JUSTICE for Tookie’s murdered victims.
