(Awesome) Colorado Secretary of State's ethics testimony: the remix

When it came to recalling…well, much of anything Gessler actually did during his partially state-funded trip last year to the Republican National Lawyers' Association conference immediately prior to the Republican National Convention in Florida, things got…you know, fuzzy. Also, we love the backbeat in this video...

Good heavens, the man has got a terrible memory, doesn't he? We're told that at no point in Friday's questioning, which only took place after a judge ordered Gessler to personally testify before the Independent Ethics Commission, did Gessler formally invoke his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Remember that Gessler has already repaid the money in question, just days before his anticipated run for Governor became public, which Colorado Ethics Watch quite reasonably takes as an admission of guilt. But as you can see, simply "not remembering" anything, if you're persistent at it, can carry you almost as far as formally "pleading the Fifth."

Fact is, these clips could probably be edited down even more–like for instance into a 30-second ad? For somebody who claims to be thinking seriously about running for Governor, safe to say, this wasn't a helpful outing.
