We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: The Colorado media LOVES Republican Chair Dick Wadhams. Today the Rocky Mountain News devotes an entire article, complete with a picture, to the fact that Wadhams was at a House Education Committee meeting.

The stocky guy sitting quietly in the back row drew attention Monday as the House Education Committee debated Gov. Bill Ritter’s school funding plan.

“I’m trying to learn everything about the $1.8 billion property tax increase by the Democrats and Gov. Ritter,” explained Dick Wadhams, the state Republican Party chairman.

Wadhams plans to frame the issue exactly that way in the 2008 election. Republicans will raise the issue even if the plan dies in the legislature, Wadhams said.

Why is this news? Dick Wadhams sits in on a committee in the legislature! So what? Who cares? Dick Wadhams is turning into Jennifer Aniston, with the Colorado media dutifully playing the role of paparazzi.
