It's hard to put any utterance in the running for quote of the year, what with developer Bill Walters referring to Las Vegas Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian as being "dumber than a road lizard" in a national publication. But this gem from Hispanics in Politics Chairman Fernando Romero about why the group endorsed New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson for president is a close second: "While we are honored to support a strong Hispanic Presidential candidate, our endorsement of Governor Richardson is not about race." Not about race? Now that's a knee-slapper. A Hispanic group endorses the only Hispanic candidate for president and it's not about him being Hispanic? If you believe that, you are dumber than a road lizard.
