Well, he actually said "maricon," which is a Hispanic slur of homosexuals.

Richardson, a Hispanic and the governor of New Mexico, was a guest on Don Imus' syndicated radio program on March 29, 2006. Imus, who later lost his job over making racial comments, jokingly said one of his staffers suggested Richardson was "not really Hispanic."Will the media firestorm of endless criticism and OUTRAGE!! ensue that surrounded George Allen in 2006? Don't hold your breath - that would mean giving the Democrats the same kind of treatment that Republicans routinely get. And the mainstream press, knowing its role within the Democrat/media complex, can't have that.Richardson replied in Spanish that if the staffer believes that, then he is a "maricon."
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation says the word means "faggot" in Spanish.
In a statement this week, Richardson said that in the Spanish he grew up speaking, "the term means simply 'gay,' not positive or negative."
He told the AP on Thursday: "It was a playful exchange between me and Don Imus that was not intended to demean anybody, but if I offended anybody, I apologize."
