[mantra-pullquote align=”right” textalign=”left” width=”50%”]“It’s sort of like Richard Nixon saying, ‘Let’s move on,’ at the height of the investigation of his wrongdoing.

Dave Schultheis of Colorado Springs regularly made headlines during his time in office in the finest blowhard tradition since upheld by such intellectual successors as Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt, pistol-packing Rep.
