Bill Richardson Gives Interview Calling For Unity. Democrats Around The Country Slap Head, Mutter, “No Shit.”

The following are tidbits from a Bill Richardson interview with Today’s hard hitting, political analyst (and five-time globe circler), Matt “Where’s Waldo” Lauer on the disasters that will befall the Democrats if Hillary and Obama don’t start playing nice.

Richardson is finally announcing to the world on Today’s National Soft News Network(hopefully making this profound commandment digestible for all) what those street dwellers in the blog world have been reading and saying for weeks.

If the Democrats hope to retake the White House in November, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama must stop their negative campaigning against each other and start talking about the issues affecting the country.

It’s gotten enormously negative.

With Sen. John McCain already the Republican candidate, it’s vital that the battle for the nomination not continue into the Democratic National Convention in August in Denver.

What you see today is John McCain campaigning, being a statesman, unfettered, raising funds, and what we need is to stop this negativity.

We need to bring the two campaigns together. I think the two campaigns should take a deep breath and stop talking for a while. Just reflect and start talking about the issues affecting the country like the war, like the economy, subprime lending, housing, the enormous problems of gas prices, and stop this internal, personal bickering that is right now hurting us enormously.

My point here is instead of having this bitter, contested effort all the way to August, is that we come forth and decide on a nominee based on the reality that the Democrats need to be unified against a very strong John McCain.

Seriously, folks, this should not be news. It doesn’t take a governor to convince the Democrats of the obvious. We are not the ones who need to be hearing this, it’s the candidates.

Richardson gets the No Shit Award for the week (and it’s only Monday). Hillary and Obama get the Dumbass Award for the year, and possibly century, if they don’t come around and get this crap figured out soon.
