Possible Democrat Presidential Nominee...LIES |
Say it isn't so? What will the liberals say? They ramble on and on
and on about Republicans and act as if Democrats can walk on water.
But, one Democrat has LIED. Will the world stop? Will the liberals
ignore this? Will they lie for him?

Richardson admits throwing curveball
New Mexico governor acknowledges he wasn't baseball draftee
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (AP) -- 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 moved from Kansas City,
Missouri, to Oakland, California, after the 1967 season, or any other
team.
Informed by the newspaper of its findings, the governor acknowledged
the error in a story in Thursday's editions.
"After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter
.... I came to the conclusion that I was not drafted by the A's,"
Richardson said. He said he had believed it was true based on an old
program from an amateur team he had played for in Massachusetts.
Richardson spokesman Gilbert Gallegos declined to comment when reached
by the AP on Thursday.
Richardson, a right-handed pitcher who played at Tufts University, said
he was actively scouted by several major league teams in the 1960s.
He insisted his name appeared on "a draft list of some kind" created by
the Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates. He named team scouts,
whom he said told him that he "would or could" be drafted. The scouts
have since died.
Richardson later developed arm trouble, eliminating any possible pro
career.
In the summer of 1967 he played for the amateur Cape Cod League's
Cotuit (Massachusetts) Kettleers. The words "Drafted by K.C." appear
next to his name on a faded team program, the Journal reported.
"When I saw that program in 1967, I was convinced I was drafted,"
Richardson said. "And it stayed with me all these years."
Then-general manager Arnold Mycock said the biographical information
was supplied by players or their college coaches.
On a biographical sheet Richardson completed for Tufts in his junior
year, he wrote, "Drafted by Kansas City (1966), LA (1968)." He said he
wrote those words because he believed they were true.
"I never tried to embellish this," he said. "I never tried to mask it."
Richardson, elected governor in 2002, is seeking a second term next
year.
