9News Loves Them Some Dick Wadhams

The Colorado media’s inexplicable love affair with GOP State Chair Dick Wadhams continues this week as the head Republican cheese in Colorado is the featured guest on Adam Schrager’s “Your Show” on 9News.

Is 9News really already out of topics to discuss? How else to explain the affection showered upon Wadhams as “this week’s newsmaker.” Why is he a newsmaker, and why now?

Don’t ask why, silly! He’s Dick Wadhams!

We’ve said it before, but it still bears repeating: The Colorado Press absolutely LOVES them some Dick Wadhams. He is featured in more stories dealing with absolutely nothing other than the fact that he is Dick Wadhams – and he hasn’t done much of anything since arriving back in town a few months ago.

Wadhams is the Colorado version of Paris Hilton; all he has to do is fart and the press will interview him for an hour about it.

Listen, we’re not suggesting that Democratic Party Chair Pat Waak should get equal time; the media shouldn’t spend much time interviewing her, either. But does Wadhams have naked pictures of somebody at Gannett or what? There are a lot of other Colorado Republicans the media could talk to – they’d just rather play kissy face with Wadhams.
