Bill Richardson was the Secretary of Energy at the time nuclear secrets were stolen from the Los Alamos Laboratory and possibly transferred to the Communist Chinese.
While serving as Clinton's Ambassador to the United Nations, Richardson also narrowly escaped prosecution for his alleged participation in the attempted Monica Lewinsky cover-up.
Now, he'll be in charge of guiding the nation's Commerce Department through the most serious financial crisis in 60 years.
One word: PRICELESS.
