The photo of Mr. TABOR behind bars says it all. He was bitching about the quality of the coffee in the Denver County Jail after his brief stint there. Wait til he sees what awaits him in Canon City.
Word to the wise, Doug: Don’t drop the soap.
Actually, I think the advice is, if you drop your soap, Don’t Pick It Up!

It’s been my privilege to return dignity and competence to the one-five.
Dignity, maybe, but competence, no.
It needs to be led of the blood-red path by a true progressive.
This could be the saddest true statement of all.
You’re blessed with a low bar, Brother (N)C.
HD 15’s legislator quality bar was ratcheted down when Bruce took office. It’s only been allowed to increase by population growth and inflation since.
Selecting between you and him is tantamount to choosing between ingesting arsenic or blowing one’s brains out with a gun.
I saw the video last week, and there were discussions about whether to file an assault charge. I guess the question had be answered.Let the man sit in prison, and have TABOR dismantled piece by piece.. With new revenues coming in, we need to put the TABOR shit aside and move the dollars where it needs to be.
Once again, is there any way we can get rid of TABOR on the grounds that it immortalizes in our state constitution a man who is an acute embarrassment to the state and who must be even more so to the mother who raised him on ever possible level? He’s a crook, a slum lord, a miser, and a repulsive, abusive oaf with no conception of how to behave in polite society. Every time someone refers to TABOR as the Bruce amendment every single person in Colorado should be mortified. No wonder there is no Mrs. Douglas Bruce. He’s the one who brought up hemorrhoids and a true hemorrhoid in the bung hole of humanity is exactly what this ugliest of ugly creeps is. No offense to hemorrhoids.
The malcontented apple didn’t fall too far from the tree. She wrote several crotchety letters to the Gazette before she passed away.
And Collins is under investigation for undermining the best interests of the city involving a real estate transaction with Bruce. If she must resign or be removed, the new city council gets to appoint her replacement. I suppose the people of Colorado Springs could send a thank you note to the dougster for that unintended consequence.
I was wondering about whether there was a Mrs. Doug Bruce or not. IIRC a few years back, didn’t he sent away to one of the Eastern European or former Soviet-bloc nations for a mail order bride? Did that not work well?
Good memory (and thank Google 🙂

I have personally observed the phenomenon of Doug Bruce entering a crowded room and seeing the crowd part as he moved through it, as though no one wanted to get near him. His handshake is cold and clammy. I did not find him appealing in any way.
Perhaps he stinks? Sulfur, brimstone and ordinary mortal BO?
She saw what was in store and quickly de-bruced.
Indeed Doug Bruce can be listed among Colorado historic misfits such as Alferd Packer and John Chivington.
A cannibal and a mass murderer…that is tough company, indeed.
Do you think conflating the man’s accomplishment (TABOR) with the man’s post-victory behavior is proper? I don’t.
As Agent 86 might say, “The old ‘asshole’s defense’ strategy, eh”??
First, if you call TABOR an accomplishment. I don’t. It’s every bit as stupid and butt ugly as the man it spewed from. Second it’s not post anything behavior. Is there any history of Bruce ever having been anything other than the repulsive creep he is now? The people of Colorado should be ashamed they ever listened to him. TABOR sucks almost as much as Bruce does.
Just what I was going to say – WE should be ashamed that we have let Bruce’s travesty stand for so long.
You’re right. We the people of Colorado.
We should remember why Douglas Bruce pushed for TABOR in the first place. It was completely self-serving. As a slumlord, he basically just wanted to pay less property taxes. His first attempts at TABOR-like measures (the ones that failed) were even MORE oriented towards paying as little property tax as possible, screw the school districts, state and local governments that need the revenue to provide basic services.
Douglas Bruce designed TABOR for primarily selfish reasons and his despicable character is very much a part of the core of TABOR’s design.
