Bill Richardson Is Judas Iscariot, Huh? Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico,
Has endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic nod.
He was a candidate but later dropped out
It was quite odd.

Bill Clinton has given him the ropes of leadership,
(Comes to think of it Judas hung himself with a rope)
James Carville
James Carville, a Clinton and a long time ally said;
“Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary
of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the
timing is appropriate, if ironic, ” Carville said.
Judas is stretch, how about Benedict Arnold, James?
So in Mr. Carville's view on this Easter weekend,
Richardson is Judas Iscariot,

Obama is Caiaphas, and Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, is Jesus of Nazareth?
This weekend Bill has opaquely indirectly questioned Obama’s love for the USA.
'And we need to change the direction of this country, ' he continued. 'But it won't be an easy race. John McCain is an honorable man... and he and Hillary are friends. They like and respect each other.'….
'I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country, ' Clinton said.

Obama supporter, Gordon Fischer, fired back;


… a former chair of the Iowa Democratic Party, wrote on his blog. “Bill Clinton cannot possibly seriously believe Obama is not a patriot, and cannot possibly be said to be helping — instead he is hurting — his own party. B. Clinton should never be forgiven. Period. This is a stain on his legacy, much worse, much deeper, than the one on Monica's blue dress.'

He later rescinded his blog;
”I sincerely apologize for a tasteless and gratituous comment I made here about President Clinton, ” he wrote. “It was unnecessary and wrong. I have since deleted the comment, and again apologize for making it. It will not happen again. I hope my readers will accept my apology and we can move on to the very important issues facing our state and country. Thank you.”

Let’s not get into the fog,
This is not political minimalism.
It’s not Republicans versus Democrats, it is Democratic cannibalism.
