Or maybe he is… as 9News reports:
A Denver Police arrest affidavit says Ronald Smith, a state lobbyist, is accused of breaking into his ex-wife’s home on North Akron Court on Sept. 27, 2010 and damaging her newly-finished hardwood floors, pouring bleach on clothing and inside a piano, and leaving spoiled chicken in all the heating vents inside the house.
…
Smith was also accused of offering up ultimatums in exchange for signing the couple’s divorce paperwork, including a demand that she have sex with him one last time.
Smith, who was hosting a fundraiser for then-candidate John Hickenlooper the night of the alleged fowl foul play, was reportedly AWOL for most of the event. Read the whole story, because it only gets more bizarre from there.

It came up in the MSM because yesterday was the guy’s preliminary hearing. Really I just wanted an excuse for some early morning punning. Plus it’s a hilarious story for many reasons.
if you are his ex-wife.
as he faces multiple felony charges. Not to mention an eviscerated career.
more story @ FacetheState looks like he’s been greasing wheels since ’97 and now represents pharma, alcohol, and energy industries.
but often tried to intimidate those around them. Not one of my favorite people but when this story broke on Face the State have to admit I was pretty shocked.
that people read Face the State.
Seriously.
I virtually never hear them mentioned. They used to be pretty competitive as far as conservative blogs go, but since their comeback of sorts last year I haven’t heard a peep from them. Compared with PPC, Colorado Drudge and WhoSaidYouSaid, they’re barely even a blip on the radar.
I don’t have a problem with them or anything, I just never see anybody linking to them on social networking sites or blogs.
Last I remember there is something called the US Constitution whose 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments are construed, by all courts but maybe not by Colorado Pols fanatics, to confer a presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a reasonable doubt. The story is fun for us but I am sure not fun for any of the parties involved. And Ron Smith is a decent fellow if you really know him.
Gotta appreciate a loon with some creativity.
It clued her in that her place had been vandalized.
If he had just dropped the chicken down the registers, he’d be walking around free and she be wondering why her house reeked.
Riiiiiiight

The ex-wife probably knows him a bit better than anyone posting here…and something tells me she might object to the characterization of him as “a decent fellow”.
“decent fellow” myself, I object to this characterization of Smith. What’s the use of being a “decent fellow” if you’re going to be lumped together with jerks like this guy?
