State representative calls ColoradoPols "not relevant," yet talks on and on about it on radio show

During an obscure appearance Jan. 16 on KLZ 560-AM's nooner show, Freedom 560, State Rep. Justin Everett and host Ken Clark lit into the progressive blog, ColoradoPols, for its recent blog post listing fictitious names for Republican-sponsored bills in the state legislature.

Everett and Clark spent a good chunk of the show bashing the most-excellent Pols post, which, for example, offered names like “The ‘Right to Discriminate’ Act,” SB 15-069 (Sen. Laura Woods) and “The ‘Felons in Child Care’ Act,” SB 15-070 (Sen. Kevin Lundberg).

They read the make-believe names of the bills. They laughed. They got mad at "the left." They patted themselves on the back.

Everett addressed Pols directly on air: "[Pols is] very good at spinning things to make them into something they are completely not. All these things, especially the guns bills here on ColoradoPols, it should be 'Restoring Freedom Act.' That would be a better definition. 'Restoring Personal Liberties.' But apparently you guys are pretty far off the reservation, but we've known that, and that's why you're not relevant. 

So, they choose to dedicate a segment of the show to Pols, and they say the blog isn't relevant? How does that work?

Maybe they lump themselves in the non-relevant category, too, allowing them, as irrelevant entities, to focus on another irrelevant entity without worrying about their own relevancy?

I doubt it. Those two are awfully head strong to see themselves as lacking relevancy. So maybe they secretly think Pols is relevant? I called and emailed Everett to find out, but he didn't get back to me, leaving me feeling no more or less relevant than usual.
