Breaking today, Bill Richardson, siting an investigation into a California company doing business with New Mexico, has backed out of his appointment as Commerce Secretary.

NBC reported,

A federal grand jury is investigating how a California company that contributed to Richardson’s political activities won a lucrative New Mexico state contract.

A person familiar with the proceedings has told The Associated Press that the grand jury is looking into possible “pay-to-play” dealings between CDR Financial Products and someone in a position to push the contract through with the state of New Mexico.

hmmm, isn’t this the same type of ”pay-for-play” as Blagojevich?

See Michelle Malkin and Jane Q. Republican for more info.
