Richardson And A "Low Level Blogger?"

Update2: This needs to be fair:

Recently, allegations surfaced that Gov. Richardson was "innappropriately touching" aides and even the Lt. Governor. Lt. Gov. Diane Denish said that his habits of poking and touching in public were "annoying". She quickly clarified her comments as "annoying like a little brother". People quoted in a series of articles on the matter quickly stepped up to say that they weren't implying sexual misconduct, only that Richardson had some quirks in the way he greeted people in public. Whatever all that means, it seems to have been overblown. If allegations of misconduct came out, that might be a way that the 2006 governor's race in New Mexico would be competitive...the ONLY way. It doesn't appear that any elected officials are keen on challenging Richardson.

Update: Rumors? Someone doing a hit on Richardson?

I've heard from many first hand sources, not of any "innapropriate touching" but of Richardson "putting the moves on the ladies", even big donors at DNC events, you know the type where you pay $10,000 a seat and the Governor hits on you.
Sheesh, please look elsewhere.

Hmm. Interesting: Is this story getting legs? Did Richardson get some, too? See Ace for more and he links to Allah as well.

He called Steve Clemmons, who first disclosed publicly an incident in which Richardson allegedly made a lewd gesture toward a woman, a “low-level blogger.”

Others weren’t so certain. Group member Susan H. wrote that Clemmons isn’t a “low-level blogger. He’s a reputable professional journalist and a liberal.” She pointed out that Clemmons isn’t “making up this stuff entirely,” noting Lt. Gov. Diane Denish’s comments last year about Richardson poking her and touching her thighs.

She notes that another reputable blogger also brought up concerns about Richardson, and that the two “wouldn’t have mentioned the rumors had they not hear more – and some things that disturbed them – that they chose not to put in print.”

I'll say it before a lib gets to it.

What's wrong with touching a woman's thigh in public places? He's the freakin' governor!

[LOL]

so a couple of bloggers post hearsay and this is now credible dan? ace and allah sure seem like objective observers. Weren't they saying once upon a time, based on simiar hearsay, that Jamil Hussein didn't exist and they were certain of this?

[Jeff]

OK, and the AP still hasn't found him...

[Dan Riehl]

UH, the sources are liberal bloggers, they're never credible. That's also why the top update says what it does - that any sexual behavior was denied. Doh!

[Zifnab]

There is nothing in this article about Al Gore. Wtf? Lame!
