Is Bill Richardson Auditioning For Hillary?

Let's descend once again into the moist and fetid imaginings of Dick Morris, shall we? Or maybe we shouldn't and just make believe we did. No (Dismissive wave), seriously, we're ready. Is it any surprise that Morris zeroes in with predatory stealth on the Junior Senator from New York (Any luck with that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Dick?). In this installment, Dick tosses aside lightly the notion that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, the most qualified entrant into the Democratic scrum (thus far), is aiming after POTUS. Piffle, says Dickie-Poo, Richardson wants to be Number 2; Richardson's Mase to Billary's P Diddy (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment). Vintage Morris on TheHill:

"At first glance, it would seem odd for a rival for the Democratic nomination to spring to Hillary’s defense.

"But Richardson is not really running for president. He’s running for vice president, so it makes sense to attack Obama. Not only is Barack his chief rival for vice president, but he can audition in front of Hillary for the role of attack dog, which Hillary badly needs in her vice presidential candidate. Just as Nixon chose Agnew to be his Nixon, so Richardson hopes he can be Hillary’s Hillary."

Whereas Dick Morris only hopes he can be Hillary's one and only true-blue celebrity stalker. Fer realsies.
