Bill Richardson Whacks Photographer With Baseball
July 12, 2007
Yesterday, it was reported that Bill Richardson belted a photographer with a baseball while making a campaign appearance in Dyersville, Iowa.
Richardson was touring the site of the 1989 Kevin Costner baseball film “Field of Dreams.” After playing catch with a couple locals, the Democratic Presidential Candidate stepped up to the plate to hit a few balls.
Whack! A line drive into right field! Watch out!
Richardson's first hit was a line drive directly into the upper thigh of a photographer.
“I hit a photographer," said the Democratic Presidential Candidate, "I am a pull hitter. He should have gotten out of the way.”
Richardson may have also inadvertently whacked open a can of worms (also known as a bucket of lies).
This morning, many people will search the internet for "Bill Richardson" and "Baseball". They'll get more than they expect.
It turns out that Bill Richardson falsely claimed he had been drafted by the Kansas City Athletics baseball team. The false credential appeared in the biography he used in his campaign for Congress in 1982. It was also mentioned in a White House news release in 1997.
In November 2005, an investigation by the Albuquerque Journal found no record of Richardson being drafted by the Athletics or any other team.
Richardson made the following statement when the story broke, "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."
As this story is nearly impossible to believe, I offer you the following news-report as verification:
Sources: CNN, The Associated Press
Presidential Candidate Mr Breakfast will continue to point out the foibles and goofs of all the candidates (regardless of party) until they reveal a position on the importance of breakfast.
