Here's a unique award and it goes to Democratic Presidential hopeful and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. Call it the first honor for ' localizing of a national issue by a presidential candidate during a football season while taking a big whack at the current occupants of the White House.' You might call it a witty grand slam on Richardson's part regarding the "spying" incident that snared New England Patriots' coach Bill Bilechick. Campaigning in Iowa today, Richardson sent out this statement:
"The President has been allowed to spy on Americans without a warrant, and our U.S. Senate is letting it continue. You know something is wrong when the New England Patriots face stiffer penalties for spying on innocent Americans than Dick Cheney and George Bush."
Ouch.
