So Who's It Gonna Be, Dan?

So who's it going to be? Who would be willing to take on the role, knowing full-well that a Maes victory is about as likely as the Tea Party building a mosque? We'd be surprised to see an up-and-coming Republican agree to the role, because it wouldn't be great for their career to sit on a ticket with a guy prone to bizarre insights like the U.N. bicycle conspiracy.

Apparently Maes told a Greeley radio station that he's looking at a Weld County resident with "legislative experience," which could mean someone like State Sen. Kevin Lundberg or Sen. Scott Renfroe. Lundberg would make sense, since he doesn't believe in Global Warming or, curiously telecommuting, and Maes is scared of bicycles because of the United Nations, or something. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in a policy discussion between Lundberg and Maes...

You Don't REALLY Believe Global Warming, Do You?

House Votes to Censure Bruce; Lundberg Dissents

The Colorado House voted 62-1 today to censure Rep. Douglas Bruce for kicking a Rocky photographer on the House floor last week.

Bruce stood on the side of the chamber, not in the well as could have been required, as the censure was read aloud this morning.

The censure rebuked him for violating the House decorum and "ordinary standards of decency," by using physical force against Javier Manzano as the photographer crouched before the standing Bruce during the ceremonial morning prayer.

It was the first censure in the 131-year history of the Colorado legislature,

"We need to lead by example," said Rep. Steve King, R-Grand Junction, co-chair of the committee that recommended censure.

"Violence can not be tolerated in this house."...

...Rep. Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud was the lone vote against censure; rules barred Bruce from voting.
