UPDATE: We inadvertently posted a photo of Hickenlooper after the Aurora tragedy meeting with Colorado’s U.S. Senators and President Obama in a previous version of this post. Our sincere apologies. We simply grabbed the first pic from a Google image search of “Hickenlooper Obama.”
With his poll numbers plummeting in Colorado, Governor John Hickenlooper has made himself a plan…to open a Washington, DC office.
Sources say he will announce the opening of a new Washington office tomorrow.
The timing of the announcement is strange. Most governors in political free-fall would turn their sights homeward, rather than fan the view of being out of touch.
Hubris is apparently not in short supply over in the Governor’s mansion. Or maybe it is souring instincts?
You need to drive a stake in the heart of the progressive fascists in your state. Ban state employee unions and make Colorado a right to work state for everyone. Require photo id for voters and dip fingers in purple ink. Stop absentee voting. Outlaw teaching propaganda in schools. No more ward churchills spreading their hatred in public schools. Treat it just like you do teachers proselytizing the religion. Illegal and teachers who do this are fired and go to prison. Make illegal immigrants felons.
Ohhhhh you got me rollin with this one! Ha!!

Colorado was great when I moved there in 1999… now I'm glad to be rid of the place except for a small handful of great people. GOP, time to get your act together SERIOUSLY campaign against these clowns!
@Curtis Cookston – yeah, he does look like he's sucking in some nose candy – lol. Truthfully, all three of them look like their consciouses are bothering them a bit for dealing with the devil.
Blah!
Good ridance to our supposedly "moderate" gov.
Why does he need a Washington DC office? Isn't he the Governor of Colorado? Oh I forgot……. Crowells call him Chickenlooper, but yours is just as good. He has to get out of the frying pan.
Lickenpooper really likes that guy!
Jeanette > He's part of "The Party", which is centered around Rome… Colorado is just a stepping stone, one that he steps on over and over and over again.
That is just one weird hug. Does Colorado pay for that office and his travels to and fro? What does he think he's going to do there, become a czar?
Does our governor wish to be close to the crumbs from DC? To be close to the money? Will he be hiring lobbyists to staff this office? Hum…
Looks like Udall is taking a hit.
If Hick was President, would HE have pulled the trigger on Osama Bin Laden? His rationale for his reprieve for Nathan Dunlap would seem to say "no".
classic picture of 4 no good dishonest do nothing liberal politicians.
kiss kiss smooch…
As he fails, he pursues another failure. Go figure…thing is, he needs to be completely out of politics!
Put DeGette in that picture and you have an entire handfull of idiots!
He's going to run for Pres..
He's just one of the multitude of liberal "jack asses" we need to run out of this state!
Folks, there is nothing wrong with this at all… Oh wait… he's coming back too? I thought he was staying at this office.
Oh my gosh…what else are our taxpayer dollars paying for. Although I have to say, if he's leaving the state, ADIOS AMIGOS.
Why does the governor of Colorado need a Washington office?
Not at our expense Joshua. The Democrats of my state have stolen enough taxpayer monies and they want to continue to do so. Hopefully they'll be voted out in 2014.
They are liberals. They are NEVER happy.
Note the company he keeps.
When your state is the linchpin of a national progressive strategy, a Washington office is a must.
That's okay John, just so long as you GTFO.
Well, at least they don't look happy.
Are we taxpayers paying for this and his travel? What the hell does he need a Washington D.C. office for? He can pay for it himself! What an ass!
