Bets involving the Red Sox and Yankees can only lead to ugliness.
MR. RUSSERT: You spent a lot of time in, in Massachusetts. Are you a Red Sox fan?
GOV. RICHARDSON: I’m a Red Sox fan, but I got into trouble in New Hampshire. You know why? Because I said...
MR. RUSSERT: Luis Tiant, the fund-raiser. But, now, governor, this is very serious. In your book on page 18 it says...
GOV. RICHARDSON: No, about Mickey Mantle?
MR. RUSSERT: You said you’re a Yankee fan!
GOV. RICHARDSON: No, no, no. I said—no, no, no.
MR. RUSSERT: I mean, you can, you can...
GOV. RICHARDSON: No, no, no, no.
MR. RUSSERT: ...you can have different views on immigration, assault weapons...
GOV. RICHARDSON: I, no no no no. No, what I said...
MR. RUSSERT: But when it comes to Red Sox, Yankees.
GOV. RICHARDSON: What I said, the Associated Press asked me, “If you weren’t running for president, if you weren’t running for president, what would you rather be?” I’ve always been a Red Sox fan, but I said if I weren’t running for president I would like to be number seven, Mickey Mantle, playing center field for the New York Yankees.
MR. RUSSERT: “Because of Mickey Mantle, I became a Yankee fan.”
GOV. RICHARDSON: I, my favorite team has always been the Red Sox.
MR. RUSSERT: You’re a Red Sox fan.
GOV. RICHARDSON: I’m a Red Sox fan.
MR. RUSSERT: End of subject.
GOV. RICHARDSON: End of subject.
MR. RUSSERT: You better get rid of this book.
GOV. RICHARDSON: Oh, no! I’m also a Yankee fan. I also like...
MR. RUSSERT: Oh, now, wait a minute!
GOV. RICHARDSON: You can—Tim...
MR. RUSSERT: I guarantee...
GOV. RICHARDSON: No, I know, I got in trouble...
MR. RUSSERT: ...if you go—if you go to Yankee Stadium or Fenway, you cannot be both.
GOV. RICHARDSON: But I like—Mickey Mantle was my hero. If I weren’t running for president, and the Associated Press asked me, I’d play center field for the New York—I wanted to be number seven. And—but I still love the Red Sox as a team. I mean, this is the thing about me, Tim. I can bring people together. I can unify people.
MR. RUSSERT: Yankee fans and Red Sox fans?
GOV. RICHARDSON: Yes.
MR. RUSSERT: Not a chance.
GOV. RICHARDSON: Well, I bet you I can.

Red Sox Fans Can Not Want to Be Mickey Mantle. End of Subject.
I've never had the patience to watch Meet the Press regularly. But thanks to Mitch's advice, I've recently been listening to the podcast of it. Bill Richardson did not come off too well this past Sunday. Tim Russert used Richardson's book against him on a very crucial matter.

yeah, wow. i like Richardson as a candidate and would probably choose him over the rest of the democratic field right now, but this really diminishes him in my eyes. god all politicians realy are the same: a bunch of pandering ninnies who want it both ways.
for more proof, take a look at the Democrats in power right now who can't pass any sort of lobbying reform (something they hammered the Republicans on last year). and why not? because they're just as beholden to the system. sno now the Republicans are going to score points becuase of the lack of action taken. it's just ridiculous.
This makes Richardson look like a bit of a dick. If you're going to go for the "man of the people" routine at least get it right.
this is hilarious.
