Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a longtime fixture of Democratic politics with turns as Energy Secretary and United Nations ambassador under the Clinton administration, died on Friday. He was 75.
Oh my, that surprised me.
Oh I liked him. May he rest in peace.
I would have voted for him as President.
He was 75 and they’re saying “died in his sleep,” which seems odd. I suppose he was never the healthiest of men. Wasn’t he just nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?
Yeah. For about the fourth time:
No slouch, He.
I had actually preferred him to Clinton that season …. 
Mrs Maven & I lived in Albuquerque from 1979-1983. We were quite fond of Richardson. IMHO he was the most qualified presidential candidate since Adali Stevenson.
So why didn’t Obama and/or Biden appoint him to office?
Zipper issues, as i recall.
What does that actually mean?
Rumblings about some sort of affair, or paying to hush up an affair, I think. That was back when it seemed to matter. Ex-Governor Bill Richardson Is Said to Be Under Investigation - The New York Times
