Tell Us How You Really Feel, Scott Gessler

Some viral-worthy video of Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler fowarded to us this past weekend, from a speech on “election integrity” he give before the Broomfield 9.12 Group just over a week ago at Sill-Terhar Motors. Here’s a transcript:

SCOTT GESSLER: So obviously, this is, uh, we’ve got a big election coming up, and everyone’s I think properly very intensely involved, but there’s always a lot of uptightness involved, lots of accusations hurled about. So let me tell you a little about what we’re looking at, at least from my perspective, in the election. I mean, how do you, how do you know if you have a good election?

Well, Republicans win of course. [Pols emphasis]

Now, no no, I didn’t say that. From the Secretary of State’s standpoint, how do you know if you’ve had a good election?

OFF CAMERA: Uh Scott, we just talked about voter fraud just a little while ago, and, [unintelligible]

GESSLER: Yeah.

We’ve got the whole video of Gessler’s Broomfield 9.12er presentation, which we, and we suspect a few others are closely reviewing today. We’ll post more clips as they jump out at us, this might not even be the best one–but a joke about how a “good election” is when “Republicans win” sounds particularly funny coming from Colorado’s chief elections officer!

If you don’t agree, the problem must be that you don’t have Gessler’s sense of humor.
