Did anyone else notice that Ritter came out from the tall grass on the Pinnacol issue on the same day that Penry accused him of hiding under his desk? Someone must have interrupted his conference call with a windmill nut and bolt manufacturer to tell him that the state budget was collapsing and the Senate GOP was gaining traction.
How do you know Ritter and his staff wasn’t involved prior to that ? You don’t.
Let’s sign him up for the next edition of Profiles in Courage. His “staff was involved prior to that” ??

N.O.T.H.I.N.G.
That is all.
Isn’t that what Penry-Suthers made clear to Team Nationalization on raiding the private mutual insurance firm, Pinnacol?
thanks for playing.
was the Senate GOP “gaining traction?”
That’s as laughable as it is fabricated.
Oy, What a Hoot!
Article about Denver’s Mayor Hickenlooper attending and introducing a longtime favorite band of his, X, one of punk rock’s most literate acts:
http://www.indenvertimes.com/2…
Apparently, Hickenlooper did more than just attend the L.A. band’s show, according to bass player and singer John Doe. Doe said onstage last night, “Yes we had lunch with the Mayor. How fucking times have changed.”
Ritter was at the concert with Hick when the state budget was collapsing? Is that why he waited til the last minute to blink and cave in to the recommendations being made by Penry and others?
Rock on, Ritter.
MesaModerate complains that he’s politiking instead of solving the problem quietly behind the scenes.
If Bill Ritter is working in public to solve the problem, he is politicking.
If Bill Ritter is working in private to solve the problem, he is doing some sort of nefarious backroom deal and robbing us taxpayers blind without our knowledge. We should throw a tea party to protest.
If Bill Ritter is doing anything else during the day other than working on the budget, (heaven forbid) he’s hiding in the tall grass.
If Bill Ritter is compromising on the budget, he is kneeling to Josh Penry, who is god.
Sounds more like a late night deep throat session with some of the Justices in an unnamed basement garage?
Cutting HigherEd and foregoing the billions in stimulus dollars? Who’s boner was that?
Bill Ritter can do no right in some people’s eyes.
You’re wearing it out.
Aristotle is right, you have nothing.
How much does Sen. Penry pay you anyway?
Wait, wait, wait. I shouldn’t even ask you questions because you’ll just change the subject with some ridiculous anti-Ritter non sequitur as soon as people try to engage you.
David’s right. When Ritter makes a public statement, you claim he’s politicking or partisan or doing something because Josh Penry wants him to. When he’s doing things behind the scenes, you claim he’s hiding under a rock.
It’s getting pretty %^$#%#@ getting old.
You can get paid for getting on a partisan blog and questioning the daily circle jerk? I need to call someone and demand some cash.
You all need to remember that blogging from state computers is illegal.
so you’re contradicting yourself and wasting your and everyone else’s time for free?
You must have a lot of time on your hands.
Thanks to Bill Ritter and his holy war on extractive industries, my husband and I have nothing BUT time on our hands. We’ll be working any way we can to make sure Ritter gets sent back to his triple mortgaged home.
so you’re a desperate housewife. That explains oh so much. Either that, or I have a whole new perspective on you.
Holy war? My god you have absolutely no idea how ridiculous you make yourself sound.
Just because flammable gas comes out of someones water faucet dosen’t mean the governor has to wage a holy war on extractive industries. Sheesh – what a bunch of whiners.
Health and safety regs are for sissies !
Drill baby drill !
Loon.
So do a little research. Last summer, Colorado gas was selling for north of 13 bucks. Today it’s south of three bucks. Do the math. If operators can’t make a profit, they close wells in, stack the rigs and wait for the price to come back.
Then check the Baker Hughes rig counts. You’ll see other gas-producing states are in a world of hurt, too, without any new rules.
Oil and gas are commodities. As such, the price goes up and down. Every boom is followed by a bust. You can look it up.
Finally, you and your hubby shouldn’t get jobs in the same industry, no matter what the industry is. You’ll be less vulnerable to downturns.
Best of luck. It ain’t easy for any of us on the Western Slope, but, as many people have said for years, we get a third of our salary in scenery.
…it is times like these that I really miss Bob Ewegen. I can only imagine the choice words he would have for MM.
I miss Bob a lot. He taught me everything I know about dealing with garbage like that.
from CNN
This guy worked for Hastert and is now a lobbist for News Corp, Chamber of Commerce, etc. Definitely from the right.
And he makes some very good points, especially:
All 4 of his points are worth discussing, and the first 2 are spot on.
John Madden Retires
Whether you liked him or not, his name is synonymous with the game of football. I’m going to miss hearing him point out incredibly obvious things, and that ridiculous “hee hehehe” laugh of his. As long as he keeps putting out video games that curse the athletes who grace their covers, I’ll be OK.
For a guy who used to coach the Raidahs, he’s pretty damn cool.
Man that’s a good impression. He does a good Summerall too.
We offered one of our interns who’s graduating next week a full-time job – and today he accepted! This guy is an amazing programmer, walks on water without getting his ankles wet.
High speed rail coming soon – http://www.fra.dot.gov/us/cont… – but not to Colorado. Ali, get us on the list!
I’m sure people will start complaining about the lines going into Chicago without noticing just as many lines going through the Deep South and Texas.
Rep Scanlan favored more lanes on parts of I-70
I favored a high speed train
…it is what it is….
now on the other hand, there is the Treasurer’s race in 2010….
😉

And you lost.
