Remember Doug Bruce?

[Archae]

The far-right republican who kicked a press photographer covering his swearing-in?

Seems he describes day laborers as "illiterate peasants" and gets kicked off the podium.

1. I listened to Peter Boyles this morning

For about 5 minutes. They were sticking up for Bruce saying he told the truth.

Bruce is a menace.

3. Boyles regularly gets nailed here...

But Bruce is an arrogant son of a bitch.

2. It's not just that he insulted people...

it's that he said we don't need migrants to work here.

What planet is he on?

4. I like to refer to him as "Slum Lord Douglas Bruce"

I remember.

5. He reminds us why the Democrats control Colorado's government.

People in the legislature, like Bruce, are supposed to be leaders. It's hard to lead with your foot stuck in your mouth.

6. I don't know how to feel about him

On the one hand, he's like a giant flashing neon sign that says "don't vote for Republicans". On the other hand, he's embarrassing our state nationwide just when we're about to see Tancredo ride off into the sunset.

7. That's ambivalence I can understand. I feel bad for his constituents though.

He's their rep, and that's got to hurt.

8. Doug Bruce is an asshole

and that's his good point

9. Bruce, when you're in a whole, STOP DIGGING!

Now it looks like the guy is a pervert.
