Shawn Mitchell: Lawmaker admits inability to focus and personal "demons" affecting his work

In an unusual court filing, state senator and prominent GOP campaigner Shawn Mitchell states that his battle with anxiety and depression has made it difficult to get work done in his law practice and political life, leading to blown deadlines and missed hearings and campaign events. The affidavit, filed in a Denver District Court civil case, informs the judge that Mitchell failed to provide adequate legal representation for a client "through a blend of bad judgment, poor performance, and incapacity" and he's now seeking professional help.

Obviously we wish Mitchell the best in turning his life around. Yet I find it intersting that this person who has spoken out against gays and is generally a rotten jerk, is having so much trouble. It reminds of the the line: "He can't even run his own life I'll be damned if he'll run mine." I doubt if he'll have the decency to STFU given that Republicans are nothing but loudmouths.
