If he can run for the House again, then this seems like this isn’t such bad news. If he’s termed out, then this really sucks for him if Penry backs out and runs for the Senate again.
Well then, he’s fine. He can run for 2 more terms and then parlay right into the Senate.
the official answer is:
– he has the flu: he’s dead
– he needs more time with his family: he’s head to rehab
– he needs to make some decisions: rehab & divorce
– he’s hiking the Continental Divide: rehab
= he’s dating Ted Haggard.
Reminds me of the good old days when the Kremlin would announce that the Soviet leader of the day had a “cold,” only to announce weeks later that he was dead.
BTW, hiking the Continental Divide, like hiking the Appalachian Trail, means he’s brushing up on his Spanish and logging frequent flier miles to Buenos Aires.
in the days leading up to Tito’s death in 1980. I was staying with an American Diplomat’s son who was kind of a mascot to the media correspondants stationed there at the time, and we were all gathered in a bar waiting for periodic updates from a female spokesperson for the Yugoslavian government. She would say something like, “Marshal Tito is resting comfortably, and we expect him to recover fully within a few days,” and the journalists would then discuss among themselves how many minutes he had left, judging from that announcement! It was great stuff.
Andropov Dead!
came the last hurrah of the Soviet Gerontocracy, with Andropov and Chernenko dying off in quick succession, and then Gorby coming in, with unexpected results. Ah, those were the days….
Just more to add to Penry’s long growing ledger of lies and flimflamery. His Balloon Daddy approach to politics is simply becoming absurd. On the other hand, with Doug Bruce embarrassed out of political office, Penry fills his shoes quite well. Who would we have to hold up as an example of the extremism which has its death grip on the throat of the Republican Party nowadays?
“Is anyone else here tired of the flimflam, mealy-mouthed Republican?” –Josh Penry
He still won’t shut up.
Schulties is the moronic example of extremism. Penry’s a slightly less disturbing, giant ass. I mean, really, let’s give credit where credit is due.
All politics is Loco.
“Balloon Daddy approach to politics.” 🙂
I thought it was 12 months…and didn’t he move to Littleton or something?
You mean he lives near me? Ugh. Say it ain’t so. Say it ain’t so.
owns a house in Grand Junction.
At least under Colorado law it is.
..where does he keep his football trophies?
(granted, I’m being generous in assuming he has any)
Penry was a helluva football player at Grand Junction High and Mesa State.
Penry was named National Scholar Athlete of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association and Burger King.
n/t
…perhaps he’s sittin’ on a secret?
Penry’s residency. Then you have to question the residency of all of the legislators who spend their majority of time in Denver during session. Josh’s primary residence is in Grand Junction.
after moving out of their district……and filing papers for governor listing Littleton as their residence.
Oops.
His wife kept her job here and his son went to mesa county schools. Oops you got that fact wrong
That address in Littleton was his office address.
Ms. Penry was not about to give up her Mesa State meal ticket.
“Mesa State meal ticket?!?” She is working to help support her family, unlike certain politicians the Penrys do not have a silver spoon in their mouths. At least she is not on the campaign payroll like other candidate’s wives were. Why don’t you spend your time insulting present candidates and leave former candidate’s wives out of this? The Penrys have been through enough this past week and it’s time to let it be.
That’s right, he’s only the Senate minority leader and a possible candidate for re-election. Leave the man and his nepotism alone. Why does the public think it has a right to comment on public officials and their family’s position at the public trough? It’s unseemly.
“If a politician dreams one night that he is a carpetbagger, and the next day he is a politician. Is he a politician dreaming he was a carpetbagger, or a carpetbagger dreaming he was a politician?”
not the election. I’m also fairly sure that it’s a voter registration thing, so whatever the residence rules for that are. Sen. Romer changed his registration to his mom’s house while looking for a house in his soon to be district and it wasn’t an issue during the primary.
I didn’t realize Penry filed with a Littleton address for gov., seems like a little blow to his only base.
a resident of the District at least 12 months prior to the election, according to the Colorado Constitution Article V, Section 4.
No one formally filed a complaint with the SoS. But it was mentioned several times during the early part of the campaign.
