Gee that seems like a reputable source…. asssuming it is true, wouldn’t all the news organizations in Denver jump on it, or perhaps do they question the validity of a left wing blogger’s tales?
One must consider the source before making accusations of this sort.
Beaupreznit, Here is a link to that Musgrave story. http://musgravemustgo.blogspot.com/2006/03/someones-congresswoman-but-not-yours.html
Westsloper: are you referring to censuring the President? Because as much as he might annoy me, he still has his first amendment rights. 🙂
Mesa County District Attorney Pete Hautzinger will investigate Colorado Republican Caucus letter.

Here’s a state by state breakdown of how much Americans think BUSH SUCKS
http://surveyusa.com/50State2006/50StateBushApproval060315State.htm
Druid,
What is up with Musgrave? I didn’t hear about that. Is there a link, or do you have details?
When, not if, support for censorship of the president lands on the state Democratic Platform (as it did on most of the “D” precinct caucus platforms,) wonder what our Democratic congressional/senate elected officials will do as Russ Feingold continues his quest? Could this be the line in the sand for the Democratic base aka grunt campaign workers?
“Freakin’ Gonzaga” is right.
ARRRGGGHHHH!! I was sure that their last shot was going to fall, though – and it would have counted.
Ah, well, you’ve got to credit UCLA (much as it pains me to say that) – they were down 17, and never gave up.
But for crying out loud, when you’re double-teamed, GET RID OF THE BALL!
Perlmutter took the Jeffco Caucus Straw Poll in a huge way. 89% of the committed vote.
Lamm (who showed up and talked to people at my caucus) took only 7%, and Rubenstein only took 4%.
Even if Herb picks up delegates before the assembly, and if he grabs some of the undecided, he can only barely squeek to where he can even think about collecting petitions.
I was told by someone at her caucus that Herb’s wife declined being a delegate and chose to be an alternate instead.
I am not sure what Herb wants from this race at this point. I like him a lot, and maybe it is just because I am a Perlmutter supporter, but I think it might be time for him to think about helping in the fight to bring this seat into the Dem column instead of being a distraction.
So what is up with Musgrave calling the police becuase constituents actually visited her office? How dare they!
I agree that Jay Marvin isn’t what he used to be, but then few of us are! Sam Seder, when filling in is much more passionate, insightful and enjoyable. Air America is a much needed balance to the Rush Limbaughs, Rosens, and other right wing talk show hosts. I particularly like Amy Goodman. Catch her show on 1390 between 7 and 8 every weekday morning. She’s a very good professional journalist; has excellent guests, and, gives both sides a chance to express themselves.
A West Texas cowboy was herding his herd in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd,will you give me a calf?”
The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, “Sure, Why not?”
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his AT&T cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite navigation system to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech,miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the cowboy and says, “You have exactly 1586 cows and calves.”
“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says the cowboy. He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.
Then the cowboy says! to the young man, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?”
“You’re a consultant for the National Republican Party.” says the cowboy.
“Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?”
“No guessing required.” answered the cowboy. “You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked; and you don’t know anything about my business……..
Now give me back my dog.”
C’mon, Gecko… Radio talkshow hosts are the most prolific whores on the face of the earth. They’ll hump any issue to death simply for the sake of, well, um, ratings. Look at the Bennish airtime that Caplis and Silverman and Rosen have relished in, lo these past few weeks. That’s what it’s all about, bro. However, I must say, Ms. Musgrave deserves to be viewed in the bright light of day which, hopefully, will shed some little truth on her hate-mongering, a.k.a. playing to the folks in the flatlands. Of course, the flatlanders eat that shit up like grits on a Sunday. So, alas, flatlanders, you’ve got Marilyn and you’ll probably have Marilyn for another two years. You get–in politics–what you deserve. Sadly. Enough said.
Jay Marvin once had a guest on saying that Cheney shot his friend “on purpose”! And Jay Marvin apparently believed him.
I used to tune in for a few minutes a day just to see if I could listen to it for at least 2 minutes without screaming “MORONS” at my radio and turning it off.
AM 760 is by far the biggest joke on the air waves. They are about as close to socialist/communist/whateverist as you can get. Of course that fits in fine in the commune of Boulder.
Anyone that listens to them, other than by accident, is either a screaming liberal or just plain stupid.
Dan – I was there, it was a good time.
to paraphrase The Big Lebowski, the Wingnuts lost!
Jay Marvin and 760AM are objective news sources? Please, give me a break. They aren’t any more reliable than the lunatic that runs Musgrave Must Go Blog…
Anyone who thinks Marvin, 760AM or MMG Blog are credible needs to get a clue and seek help…
TBM,
The complaint was covered this a.m. on the Jay Marvin show, too.
So much for the “website solely devoted to anti-Musgrave rhetoric” theory, ManoftheHour.
3blindmice,
Watching the debate over Domestic Partnerships was even more entertaining. I do have to credit to Angie Paccione who, in her role as Chairwoman of the Committee of the Whole, did a good job of keeping a tight reign on the most extreme of the rhetoric, from both sides. There was a little “off stage” heated exchange between Reps Harvey and Pommer. The Dem caucus chair and the minority leader led their Reps back to their “respective corners” though before it came to blows.
The 2nd reading vote is a voice vote, but a later vote to accept the report of the committee of the Whole forced a recorded vote. That recorded vote was 41-23 in favor of accepting the CoW report. (Rep. Cloer was absent at the time of the vote). The formal vote on the bill itself will likely be Monday, according to what was said on the floor today.
Re: Lack of Press Coverage of the Musgrave episode
Did anyone bother to check the date? It looks like the incident just happened today. Did you think the News and the Post would issue an extra edition?
I’d hold off on making excuse’s for MM just because the Denver press hasn’t covered the story yet – they very well may and then of course you’ll be left to scramble for some new excuse.
If Musgrave’s office really had called the cops, or if this really was a story to begin with, the press would have been all over it. My guess is that a website solely devoted to anti-Musgrave rhetoric is going to be biased in its interpretation of the facts.
Totally off topic but if, like me, you think Colin Cowherd sucks go read this and be prepared to be outraged…

ps – if you’re a Ben Domenech fan you may not care so much
Anyone else hear the floor debate over HB1344 – Plant’s Domestic Partnership Bill – this morning? It was one of those debates that just left me shaking my head at theocons who are running (and ruining) the state GOP.
Debbie Stafford referenced her time as a domestic violence counselor and wondered, in all seriousness, how she would handle a man who came in and who was abused but who was “the woman” in his relationship. She was worried about where to place such a person in the system and she was dead serious.
It was sickening.
The congresswoman ?has touched the lives of thousands? by opening an office in Longmont to help residents handle problems related to the federal government, Hotaling said. (In an interview in 2004).
Yeah, gee, that’s great, if you’re allowed to actually visit her office without fear of arrest. And if the current budget crisis isn’t a problem, what the hell constitutes one?
MM’s as afraid to meet with unscreened constituents as Dubya. They make a nice couple, dontcha think?
You guessed it! I’m biased! Guess what too: I’m a Democrat.
Darn it. They’re on to me. So much for that idea.
(So keep attacking the messenger, byatches. Distraction has done you so much good on keeping Georgie Boy the oh so credible Dear Leader you kneel to every frickin’ night)
It’s going to be a nice weekend.
Get out and ride ’em if you got ’em.
If not, get out and buy one.
Put the wind in your face and the bugs in your teeth.
Woo hoo
