BACK ROOM BACKTRACK: Hickenlooper Denies Saying Exactly What He Said On Transparency

Posted on August 8, 2013 by colo0566

Facing heat for saying government needs to be less transparent, Governor Hickenlooper told The Denver Post that he never suggested we return to back room deals.

Only that’s exactly what he said.

What he told Time Magazine:

“We elected these people, let them go back into a room like they always did.”

And here is Hick’s denial to the Post:

“At no point did I suggest that we should embrace back rooms,” he said, adding that he was telling the reporter about the ideas proffered by columnist Fareed Zakaria.

Unfortunately, the Post‘s report is a thinly veiled attempt to cover for Hick and doesn’t make clear that Hick is completely contradicting himself. As Complete Colorado’s Todd Shepherd pointed out, the Post even rewrote its headline to soften the blow to the governor.

We doubt 9News’ Kyle Clark would have let Hick get away with such a denial. But, then again, Denver Post Publisher and Hickenlooper buddy Dean Singleton doesn’t own 9News.

    Hickey on the pooper has his head so far up his back side he hasn't seen the sun in years. Hand picked by Obama for the Gov. race why would he be any different then the rest of the Obama scum bags?
