How Many Exactly? Another Great American Speaks

Some schmuck in Colorado w/ two first names is decrying the number of illiterate peasants in that state.
"I would like to have the opportunity to state at the microphone why I don't think we need 5,000 more illiterate peasants in Colorado," Bruce said. His outburst drew an audible gasp from the House.
Really, illiterate peasants are a world-wide problem, but there does seem to be a disproportionate amount of them in Colorado. Remember that Tancredo guy? Were we Rep. Bruce, we might shut up though. Who the fuck does he think is electing him? In the interests of fairness and balance, we'll agree w/ ol' Doug that resolutions are bullshit.
Republicans later removed him from the powerful State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee because he refused to co-sponsor a resolution honoring military veterans. Bruce said he believed resolutions were a waste of time because they have no legal effect.
The story doesn't indicate which benighted district Bruce represents. We know many Coloradans, especially in the Colorado Springs area, are plenty religious, but Brucie seems to have a problem w/ his religion being displayed in public. (We were just guessing, but he does indeed come from Colorado Springs. Be sure to click on "Extremist Letter" on the left side of his site, under House District 15.)
He became the first Colorado lawmaker censured by the House after he kicked a newspaper photographer for taking his picture during a prayer.
First in war, first in peace, first in kicking photogs & getting censured. An all around swell guy & wonderful human being. We predict he's going to be in the political big time very soon. Seems like an ideal Republican candidate.

Plus --- "Two first names" -- don't you just hate it? My ex husband always used to say Never trust a person with two first names.!

The Editor Responds:

Actually worse are those w/ two last names, often indicating the union of two wealthy & powerful families. Or four-named fuckers like G. H. W. Bush.

(Though technically, as a descendant of Scots, we should admit it's not so odd a name, for a Scotsman.)

Always happy to add to the roll, especially locals. Glad you liked Everybody Knows, found her commenting @ Doghouse Riley, & she's local too! Interesting that both you & Kathyr are fully snarky in the commenter world, but not so mean on your own. (Whereas there's no hope for us.)

P. S.: Yikes, you've had more than one husband?

Gosh! (as we say in so the ole UK).

Does that mean G gets a triple-barrelled name?

S'pose that depends on how many she wants to use.
