At Least He’s Not Your State Representative

In another edition of our long-running series, “At Least He’s Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Kansas, where a Republican lawmaker adds a racist tone to a conversation about legal marijuana. From the Garden City Telegram: During Saturday’s Legislative Coffee session at St. Catherine Hospital, State Rep. Steve Alford, R-Ulysses, made an ostensibly racist comment […]

At Least He’s Not Your Creepshow Ex-Congressman

As the Washington Post reported last night, the wind-down of Rep. Trent Franks’ (R-AZ) career this week amid a bizarre allegation of sexual misconduct involving his female staff rapidly accelerated Friday as the icky details became public–turning what was expected to be a resignation within weeks into resignation effective immediately: Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) offered […]

At Least He’s Not Your State Senator

It’s time again for one of our longest-running features on Colorado Pols: “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator!” Today we take you to Boston, where former Democratic state Sen. Brian A. Joyce just might have the most absurd story of corruption we’ve seen all year. As the Boston Globe reports: Former state senator Brian A. Joyce was charged […]

At Least He’s Not Your County GOP Treasurer

UPDATE: The Chieftain notes in an updated version of the story that Fogg was arrested in El Salvador on November 17. —– One word of caution–if you live in Pueblo County, as the Chieftain reports, the above doesn’t apply to you. Because, unfortunately: An arrest warrant has been issued for former Pueblo County Republican Treasurer […]

At Least This Isn’t Your Election Problem

In another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Virginia, where officials are still trying to figure out results in a couple of key races that could decide whether Democrats take control of the State House for the first time in 20 years. As the Associated Press reports, […]

At Least He’s (Still) Not Your Governor (Again)

Maine Republican Gov. Paul LePage has already been featured twice in our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator” (here, and here). Today marks the third mention for LePage, which is probably a record or something. As The Hill reports: Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) said Wednesday his administration will not expand Medicaid until the state […]

At Least He’s Not Your City Commission Candidate

For another visit in our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to Florida, where a Democratic candidate for City Commissioner (whatever that means) has allegedly gotten a little too much, um, exposure. From the Orlando Sentinel: The Miami-Dade County Democratic Party will stop campaigning for a Miami Beach City Commission candidate accused […]

At Least She’s Not Your Alien-Abducted House Candidate

McClatchy DC reports on a Republican congressional candidate in Florida who’s been there, done that: Florida has a U.S. senator who once flew aboard the Space Shuttle. A congressional candidate from Miami can go one better: Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera says she’s been aboard a spaceship too. But this one was crewed by aliens. As in […]

At Least He’s Not Your Soon-To-Be Ex-Congressman

Politico reporting on the fate of GOP Rep. Tim Murphy, up until very recently one of the U.S. House of Representatives’ most vocal on the matter of restricting access to abortion–who apparently didn’t want to practice what he preaches when his own girlfriend got knocked up: Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.), the embattled anti-abortion lawmaker who allegedly […]

At Least She’s Not Your Legislator (All Lives Splatter Edition)

USA TODAY connects us to the story of GOP Rep. Lynne DiSanto of South Dakota, who employed a most unfortunate visual to spell out her apparently visceral dislike for left-wing protesters: A Republican state lawmaker in South Dakota faced calls to apologize Tuesday after she shared an image on Facebook depicting protesters being hit by […]

At Least He’s Not Your Congressman (Pistol Packin’ Mama Edition)

ThinkProgress reporting, Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold demands satisfaction from Republican Senators who are refusing to repeal the Affordable Care Act–old school style: Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) is livid at the inability of the Senate to repeal Obamacare, and he knows exactly who to blame: the Republican women of the Senate. During a radio interview on […]

At Least He’s Not Your Grammar Instructor

Take a look at the photo in this Tweet from state Rep. Paul Lundeen (R-Colorado Springs): Our Independence Day parade float. Freedom-to travel up and down I-25 safely and predictably. #coleg #colopolitics #priority @cobudgetoffice pic.twitter.com/vq0k1qYfGk — Paul Lundeen (@Paul_Lundeen) July 6, 2017 The rain in Spain does not fall mainly on the plane.

At Least He’s Not Your Governor

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is an obvious choice for one of our longest-running features here at Colorado Pols. Front page of today’s @starledger. It’s gonna be this kind of day in Trenton. #njshutdown pic.twitter.com/vVANVqceOs — Matt Arco (@MatthewArco) July 3, 2017 As Chris Cillizza writes for CNN, Christie has absolutely no more fucks left to give: On […]

At Least He’s Not Your Governor

For the last few years under ultra-conservative Gov. Sam Brownback, our neighbors in Kansas have been part of an experiment to see what happens if you do what conservative lawmakers from coast to coast say they want: cut taxes, cut them a lot, and then keep cutting in hope that if you cut taxes enough […]

At Least He’s Not Your Berzerk Congressional Candidate

UPDATE: 9NEWS’ Kyle Clark has got a point: Here are Colorado Republicans being asked hard questions and not assaulting anyone. #copolitics #9NEWS pic.twitter.com/CQ7L3nPkS4 — Kyle Clark (@KyleClark) May 25, 2017 —– Washington Post reporting, never ever ever let your temper get the best of you like this in politics: Greg Gianforte, the Republican candidate in […]

At Least Doug Lamborn Probably Isn’t Your Congressman

In another edition of our long-running series, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator,” we take you to the U.S. Capitol, where Republican members of Congress apparently don’t have enough work to do to keep them busy. As NBC San Diego reports, at least four members of Congress — including Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado Springs) — have literally been spending […]

At Least It’s Not Your State Legislature

UPDATE: A clarifier on Colorado law as it pertains to special sessions. According to the Colorado Constitution, Section 7 Article V, either the governor or a two-thirds majority of the House and Senate can call a special session. That means the kind of shenanigans on display in North Carolina would be difficult, but not impossible, […]

At Least You Didn’t Lose Your Constitution

In another edition of our regular feature, “At Least They’re Not Your Legislators,” we take you to Kyrzakhistan Kryzgystuhn Kyrgyzstan, where they seem to have misplaced their constitution. From The Independent (the international one): Politicians in Kyrgyzstan have lost the country’s constitution. It emerged during a debate over planned changes to the law that nobody in the central Asian country knew where […]

At Least He’s (Still) Not Your Governor

Last week Maine Gov. Paul LePage made it into the regular Colorado Pols feature “At Least They’re Not Your Legislator.” Thanks to his incredible oratory skills, LePage is back again this week. As Camila Domonoske reports for NPR, LePage apparently still has room in his mouth for another foot: After leaving an obscene voicemail for a state legislator, Maine Gov. […]

At Least He’s Not Your Governor

It’s time to return, once again, to one of our longest-running features on this site: At Least They’re Not Your Legislator. Today, we visit Maine, where Republican Gov. Paul LePage left a profanity-laced voicemail for a Democratic state senator and later challenged the man to a duel. Yes, a duel. With pistols and stuff. As CNN reports: […]

At Least We Got That One Vote Counted Correctly

Well, that sucks. Scott Turner is a Republican who narrowly lost to Longinos Gonzales, Jr. in the June 28th Primary for El Paso County Commissioner (District 4). The final tally had Gonzales winning by just 34 votes — a tantalizingly narrow margin that nevertheless fell outside of the window for an automatic recount conducted at county expense. But […]

At Least Your Name Isn’t Dan Sullivan

Former Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan announced yesterday that he planned to challenge Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the August Republican Primary in Alaska. As the Alaska Dispatch News reports, this could get weird for Alaska’s other U.S. Senator…Dan Sullivan: Former Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan filed to face U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary moments before the […]

At Least He’s Not Your Mayor (Sorry, Castle Rock)

We’ve been keeping an eye on a strange story out of Castle Rock (between Denver and Colorado Springs), where local residents have succeeded in securing a July date for a recall election to oust Mayor Paul Donahue. Donahue is term-limited in 2016 anyway, but has apparently done enough to antagonize enough residents that a recall election […]

At Least He’s Not Your Congressman (Spilling The Beans Edition)

Milwaukee’s WTMJ-TV reports on a Republican member of Congress from Wisconsin, Glenn Grothman, who waxed a bit too honest about how requiring voters to present a photo ID in his state will help his fellow Republican candidates: In comments made to TODAY’S TMJ4’s Charles Benson on election night, U.S. congressman Glenn Grothman (R-Campbellsport) said he thinks Wisconsin’s […]

At Least It’s Not Your Twitter Account

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) is taking fire this afternoon after an extremely ill-advised Twitter attack on Rep. Tammy Duckworth, candidate for the U.S. Senate in Illinois running against Sen. Mark Kirk: For those of you who don’t know, Politico reports, accusing Tammy Duckworth of “not standing up for our veterans” is…well, it’s more than a little […]
