Well, it seems like Governor Richardson’s fantasy world has finally collided with reality:
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.
Governor Richardson has a consistent track record of confusing the facts when it comes to his own performance. However, maybe this latest admission of truth signifies that the Governor is going to turn over a new leaf and start the fessing up to other inaccuracies fed to the media. If so, you can expect to read the following in forthcoming issues of New Mexico’s newspapers:
- “After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter … I came to the conclusion that I was not a tax-cutting Governor,” Richardson said.
- “After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter … I came to the conclusion that I have not improved education for the children of New Mexico,” Richardson said.
- “After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter … I came to the conclusion that I have not improved the DWI situation in our state,” Richardson said.
- “After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter … I came to the conclusion that I should not have bought a jet,” Richardson said.
- “After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter … I came to the conclusion that I am not focused on serving a second term as Governor of New Mexico,” Richardson said.
- “After being notified of the situation and after researching the matter … I came to the conclusion that I colluded with the Attorney General to keep an indicted State Treasurer on the payroll ,” Richardson said.
As always, feel free to add in the comments section any other conclusions that Governor Richardson might reach after researching the matter.
