House Votes to Censure Bruce; Lundberg Dissents

Bruce stood on the side of the chamber......

   So he returned to the scene of the crime. Did any photographer dare to click a photo during the proceedings?

Just a thought

If you work with 63 colleagues that you need support and votes from and 62 of them think you are loser I think you are going to have a hard time getting anything accomplished.

Every time I hear the name Lundberg, I think of the movie Office Space

Lundberg's censure of Bruce

uhh yeah, Douglas, we're having a little decorum problem around here. Could you take care of that? That'd be greeaat. Oh, and don't kick the reporters ok? Yeah, that'd be great.

Yeah...

Did you get the memo on kicking reporters?  I'll send you another copy of that memo, OK?  That'll be great.

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place.  And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - Douglas Adams

Lundberg and Bruce are BFF

Glenn Asakawa (photog for the Denver Post) better watch his knees since he took a picture of Lundberg and Bruce holding hands on the House floor today.

Can't tell if they both have wide stances though.

I can't wait for The Bruce Manifesto

At the end of the article it talks about how Bruce is preparing a missive of several pages addressed to his "executioner," Andrew Romanoff.

This will be fun.

according to the Post, Kicker requested permission to includee his rebuttal in the House record

....but by a lopsided vote, the members rejected his request.  Mike May rather charitably said that the proposed written rebuttal contained "some inaccuracies"!
  I'm looking forward to what he does next.

Look no further

He's already posted it on his website, and so appropriately titled his 7 page defense piece as "The Nudge."

Oh Doug, you're such a comedian! Anytime you see Bruce, under his own definition, we can give him a nice swift "nudge" to the ass for being such an ass.

It's even funnier than I expected.

Shorter Doug Bruce:

"But, but...I bought everyone Jelly Bellies!  And now I'm never talking to the News or Post again!  So there.

He's nucking futs!

Just checked out Bruce's...

website and he has a letter from Ron Paul on it.  The letter is a 2002 fundraising letter written by Paul on his congressional stationery...isn't that a violation of campaign finance laws???

He does what matters most

Like making the tough promises, such as swearing to never take off his coat! I have the best rep. in the state, I am sure of it.

From his letter:
"I had already decided I will never remove my coat, even when allowed. President Ronald Reagan did the same when inside the Oval Office. I did the same during commission meetings. It was even a campaign promise of mine."

Just don't make him get up early.

From his email threatening not to show up on the first day of the legislative session:

"I also think it is unreasonable to expect me to get up at 5 a.m. and leave my house in Colorado Springs before 6 a.m. in order to sit in rush hour traffic and unknown weather, in the hopes of arriving before 8 a.m. to rush onto the House floor to take an oath two hours earlier than the start of the day's session, for no good reason, and in a near-empty chamber.

Fight for your right to sleep late on the taxpayers' dime, Doug!  Fight!

I remember that comment

and thinking I would gladly get up at 5 am if I got to have his job...

that Reagan just forgot he was wearing a coat.
