New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is the guest on tonight’s edition of Iowa Press (airs at 7:30 on IPTV). After the show’s taping, Richardson revealed his answer to what some baseball fans contend is impossible — how Richardson could claim to have affection for both the Yankees and the Red Sox.
Richardson says as a child in Mexico, he heard radio broadcasts of Yankee games and Mickey Mantle was his idol. Later, after moving to New England, he became a Red Sox fan.
Here’s the Radio Iowa story from Richardson’s appearance on the show.
Also today, Kansas Senator Sam Brownback made an appearance at the Country Life & Power Show near Waukee late this morning. Newsman Todd Dorman, Des Moines bureau chief for the Lee Enterprises newspapers in Iowa, was armed with a video camera and you can watch Brownback fire off a Civil War-era cannon. Wearing a not-so-Civil-War-era red striped golf shirt, Brownback is coached by a man clad in a Union uniform, then Brownback fires off a shot into some trees. Dorman advises the shot was in the direction of the suburb of West Des Moines. Brownback’s likely back to just firing verbal salvos by this hour.
