This has been the week of debates in Colorado politics, and we've made sure to keep you updated on everything that has been said (and shouldn't have been said). But we didn't want to end the week without a look back at one of the saddest joke attempts we've seen in a debate in a long time. Poor Cory Gardner doesn't even get crickets in response to his joke — just complete silence — in Tuesday's debate at the Denver Post. Kudos to Sen. Mark Udall for keeping a straight face.
We decided not to edit the clip down to the final 20 seconds at the end, because the wait just makes the payoff so much more fail-tastic. If you just can't wait, jump ahead to the :45 second mark. Enjoy:
