2. "Scheduling conflict"

   Hickenlooper Will Skip Senate Climate Forum, Setting Himself Apart From Other Democrats

   "John Hickenlooper believes climate change is both the biggest threat and the greatest opportunity of our time," Hickenlooper for Colorado spokeswoman Melissa Miller explained in an emailed statement. "While a scheduling conflict, unfortunately, prevents him from attending next weekend's forum, he looks forward to talking with voters across the state about his plans to combat climate change by growing our clean energy economy and reinstating and expanding protections for clean air and water."

   Miller declined to clarify the nature of the conflict.

   The nature of the conflict is John not wanting his ass handed to him.

   1. He’s working on a television commercial . . .

      . . . something involving putting quarters into wind turbines in his shower, or something . . .

      . . . I don’t quite understand it all, but the DSCC has promised that it will be very groovy boffo, . . . and very cute.

      Anyway, as Hick would say, “there’s really just no appetite among voters right now for any saving of the planet.”
