I’m still waiting for one of those Democratic Senate candidates to leak me a shirtless photo to get my endorsement. Hmmm, I guess my endorsement is not as appealing as I originally thought.
and I’ve known him for years. He’d never use language like that with anyone, much less a State Senator in the Capitol.

Background on the issue – after an investigation in 2003 showed the Fitzsimons Vet Nursing Home was little better than a Victorian snake pit, Gov Owens created the Veterans Nursing Home Accountability Committee.
(http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=2347)
Gov Owens also directed the Colorado Dept of Human Services to outsource the management of the nursing homes, but CDHS got to do the review, and recommend the company.
(http://www.colorado.gov/dpa/doit/archives/govowens/eos/eo-04/b00704.pdf)
That turned out to be Pinon Management, and the contract was supposed to end in 2005, at which time the State would take back management of State Nursing Homes. Well, the contract keeps getting extended, and it’s been a political hot potato ever since.
Now, the United Veterans Committee (UVC) supports the extension of Pinon Management running the State Vet Nursing Homes. (UVC is a nonprofit organization that has 45 charted and recognized veteran organizations that works as one unified voice on Vet issues. Colorado is the only state to have a group like this.)So Nate lobbies on behalf of that.
Sen McKinley wants the State to take back running the Vets Nursing home, and give CDHS the proper funding to run it right this time.
Who’s right? Dunno about that – all the Vet groups are pretty damn happy with Pinon, but I do have my own personal concerns about contractors running something so critical. At the same time, the State f*cked up pretty bad when they ran it, in part because it was chronically underfunded.
Thought about the shirtless pic, but it had no effect on a Senator, so less likely to work on a Representative. Unless of course he was a she.
Thanks for the background on the issue Dan. Read the story in the Post this morning, but no info on what the brouhaha was really about. Once again, Pols rules !!!
Its Representative McKinley not Senator.
That’s what the diary — and Fender’s story — says. The only senator referenced is Ken Kester, and that’s what he is, too.
SSG_Dan’s comment second to last paragraph refers to Sen. McKinley.
To them, everything’s always being stuffed down their throats, rammed down their throats…
Why, you’d almost think there’s something Freudian going on.
…he would’ve gone with some Drill SGT classics like “I will gouge out your eye and skull-f*ck you to death!” or “I will unscrew your head and sh*t down your neck!”
kick his ass, Wes? Or maybe, you’re all hat?
