who go after them daily, there is not much of a sound from any of them.......INCLUDING the ones from here in Colorado.......
DeGette, Bennett, Hickenlooper.
Oh.....wait a minute, hold your horses.........we are suddenly hearing something from Bennett, as his complete attention is being dedicated to his run for Colorado Governor, and not his job that he is being paid to do......

Wonder what lil’ Mikey is like at home?

“I haven’t looked out the window this morning, so I can’t really comment on whether the yard needs mowing or not.”

“I haven’t been in there in hours. So I have no way to know if it was mine. Or who flushed last”

“Dishes in the sink? ‘Dishes’ could mean lots of things. I can’t say anything about a developing situation.”
