Douglas Bruse - Colorado House Representative

Colorado is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful place to live, but when it comes to politics it is a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

Sure we have your run of the mill politician who is always pocking his head where is doesn’t belong – pun intended. For example, Michael Garcia who felt some strange urge to whip it out and exposed himself to a female lobbyist. Garcia claims that the act was consensual, sure it was. In the game of “who’s the dog and who’s the fire hydrant tonight,” it’s easy to get upset if you’re always the fire hydrant. Apparently this lobbyist had had enough and wanted to be the dog for once – arf.

However, not many states can claim to have a Douglas Bruce character like Colorado has, who’s antics will land him in the “Politicians Gone Wild” hall of fame along with the “Not on my dress” award.

Bruce, who took over for Bill Cadman who left for the Senate, is best known to date (a time span totaling almost five months now as a House member) for kicking a Rocky Mountain News photographer on the day he was sworn in as a House member. Yeah, first day on the job and you kick a member of the press, not good. Then, last week Bruce, on the House floor, said that all immigrants are “illiterate peasants.” Bruce, as you can imagine - considering what kind of person you would have to be to make such a comment in the first place - failed to see why the comment is being taken as racist.

And finally the sexual harassment charge.

So, as you can see, many other states maybe have politicians who have had sexual charges filled against them, but no other state – that I know of – has a politician that is a racist, batterer, and who is being charged with sexual harassment.

Ain’t he a gem, we Coloradoans should be proud!

I would like to tell you a story of a man named Bruce
Colorado Representative couldn't hold a truce
Then one day as he was getting sworn in
Kicked a Rocky Mountain News photographer right in the chin

Douglas that is, batterer, racist and now sexual harasser

Now, the next thing you all know
The House is voting for him to shut his filthy hole
Said: "In restraints is where you aught to be"
So they took a vote to hush 'em up which passed easily

63-1, "illiterate peasants," tax fraud, and yes, he's still a racist
