Colorado's 2010 "Egregious Eight"

  • 18 Comments
  • by: Alan

(It’s the scowl-offs – promoted by Colorado Pols)

Update: Ladies and gentlemen, the “Foul-Mannered Four”–with a twist!

* Dave Schultheis – 45 votes (20.74%)

* Doug Bruce – 40 votes (18.43%)

* Kevin Lundberg – 25 votes (11.52%)

* Jane Norton – 22 votes (10.14%)

* Scott McInnis – 22 votes (10.14%)

That’s right, Jane Norton and Scott McInnis tied for the 4th spot! I admit I didn’t actually plan for that, we’ll have to resolve it somehow. Congratulations, as in the first round, to the reigning train wreck of Colorado right-wing politics, Dave Schultheis. It looks, as hard as other contenders try, like he’s going to be tough to out-extreme. Stay tuned!



The “Egregious Eight,” left to right: Scott “McLobbyist” McInnis, Shawn “Creepy” Mitchell, Cory “The Birther” Gardner, Dave “Pure Evil” Schultheis, Scott “Leviticus” Renfroe, Doug “The Kicker” Bruce, Kevin “It’s a Myth” Lundberg, “Puppet” Jane Norton.

After narrowing the field from last week’s “Extreme 16,” here are your contenders for this week: the “Egregious Eight.” GOP state Sen. Dave Schultheis received the most votes last round, with his trademark “babies get AIDS” alley-oop that leaves opponents positively speechless. Close behind Schultheis is the man who calls TABOR the fruit of his loins, Doug “The Kicker” Bruce. Noted climate change denier and general-purpose radical rightie Kevin Lundberg rounds out the top three vote-getters from last week.

The field is certainly clear of all but the truly extreme among Colorado conservatives, so we’re expecting very close results! Any of them are completely capable of taking it to “the limit” (in some cases, well past the limit), it’s just a question of who wants it more! Will Cory “The Birther” pull out his tricky double-fake “Tea Party” moves, or will he play it safe? Can Scott McInnis avoid another tragic John McEnroe style freak out? Stay tuned!

In today’s poll (below), vote for four contenders to advance to the “Foul-Mannered Four.” I’ll announce the winners tomorrow at 9PM, and we’ll be well on the way toward selecting 2010’s Colorado Extreme Champion! This is the last poll in which you’ll be voting for more than one contender, we’ll settle the rest with head-to-head matchups. Happy voting!

From the list below, who should advance from the "Egregious 8" to the "Foul-Mannered Four?" Select FOUR candidates.

      2. Too bad that all LB is good for are his inane little “you have to say something nice about my party” diaries – why did THAT get promoted, anyway Pols? – and whining to the refs about posts he doesn’t like.

        That’s why I prefer Libertine or even GOPwarrior to LB any day, they don’t play disingenuous whiner games with their trolling. They just troll on with the brass balls LB only wishes he had.

        1. Sorry there are people out there that don’t lock step with you.

          Whining?  You mean about getting outed?  You’re so silly.  Do you need a big hug?

  2. The Democrats would be wise to keep a number of these crazies in the state house.  Why because they are the ones who keep getting quotes on things.  If you purge all of the nut jobs the sane folks will then be on tv and in the paper.

    Also I’d love to see the 8 insane folks in the Dems who we should clean house with for better sane members.  

  3. I had to leave out a few of my favorites.  Obviously Schultheis has to be the favorite, but I am glad to see Shawn Mitchell sneak into the semifinals.

    Next year, I suggest you link each malefactor’s name to some of their best moments so people don’t have to Google.  Refer to Go Fug Yourself’s version of March Madness for a great example.

  5. I have to say: even as someone who hates all the pols on the above list, this bracket stunt is stupid.  Or should I call it:

    The Brainless Bracket

    The Lame List

    See, I can do alotta alliteration too, but I don’t act like it’s super-clever commentary/parody…
