Childish
Posted 50 weeks 4 days ago byDouglas Bruce (R Colorado Springs) acted childish. He shouldn't have kicked the photographer during morning prayer before his swearing-in as Colorado Springs Representative. Nor should he have scolded the media of doing their job of report swearing-in ceremony, or the lack thereof. For reasons known only to the Democratically control House of Representatives, they did not swear Bruce in before the full assembly. Childish? Had it been a Democrat being sworn in, surely they would have had a full assembly in the state capitol, even with Republican control House, to avoid a backlash from the media. Childish?

It was Bruce's decision not to be sworn in with the rest of the Reps. With a quirk in Colorado law, this will allow him to avoid the term limits law and run an extra term. At the rate he is going, no one will want him to finish his first term.
