Bill Richardson Reportedly Barred From Bill Clinton Event (HuffPo 10/25/10)

The New York Post’s Cindy Adams reports:

So William Jefferson was in New Mexico stumping. Richardson shows up. The event didn’t invite him in. Per a very inside insider, Clinton aides, well aware of President Clinton’s feelings, on their own turned Richardson away. The Gov was politely told: “Sorry, governor, this is a ticketed event.”

When they later related this to Clinton, I am informed he “laughed delightedly.”

In the Spring of 2008, Richardson threw his weight behind then-candidate Obama. Democratic strategist James Carville later claimed that Richardson had misled Clinton into believing that he would support her.

Richardson’s choice was a particularly hard pill to swallow for Bill Clinton, who as president had appointed the New Mexico governor to posts as both Ambassador to the United Nations and Secretary of Energy.

In April of 2008, Clinton reportedly embarked on an irate tirade against Richardson’s perceived deception.

Reports in 2008 and even 2009 claimed that Clinton wasn’t willing to forgive Richardson’s transgressions, and wouldn’t even speak to the governor.

Richardson held a fundraiser during the heat of the standoff in the summer of 2008 with the purpose of drawing cash to retire Hillary Clinton’s campaign debt, but it apparently didn’t mend the frayed friendship.

Good! Judas proved he was an opportunist without a shred of loyalty or gratitude to Bill Clinton, who had done so much for him. He deserved to be turned away. Holding a fundraiser was a lame attempt to restore trust. Of course it didn't win Richardson many points. It's the equivalent to literally stabbing someone in the back, then contributing to payment of his hospital bill.

Judas must feel like a complete idiot by now. He turned his back on his old friends and sucked-up to the new "cool kids", only to find out that his new friends wouldn't let him sit at their lunch table, and they didn't turn out to be all that popular, after all. lol

Good. Serves him right!  You think he will learn about loyalty now?
