      I think my fondest memory of Richardson is the time that he spoke at
the University of Minnesota in the late '90's to legitimate a new
war with Iraq.  This was just after the Ohio State debacle, where
Madeline Albright was heckled by the crowd.  Richardson was able to
speak for about 5 minutes before he was shut down by the large,
angry anti-war contingent.  I'm not sure what the point is of
rehabilitating these hacks.
