DENVER -- Republican Rep. Douglas Bruce was ordered to leave the podium of the Colorado House of Representatives on Monday after calling Mexican workers "illiterate peasants."

Bruce made the comment during a debate on a bill that would allow the state to help immigrant workers get temporary visas from the federal government.

Bruce, of Colorado Springs, has had had other run-ins since arriving at the Capitol in January as a midterm appointee to fill a vacancy.

He became the first Colorado lawmaker censured by the House after he kicked a newspaper photographer for taking his picture during a prayer. Republicans later removed him the powerful State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee because he refused to co-sponsor a resolution honoring military veterans.

Another fine republican shows his true colors.

[democracy1st]

1. These guys aren't worth a damn

[niyad]

5. those who don't live here have no real idea of just how utterly worthless and despicable dougie

is. he makes tom tancredo look almost sane.

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

10. Just another local wacko

Can't believe he's representing anybody! But, then again, we have more than our share of local wackos now, don't we! Must be all the sunshine.

[El Supremo]

2. I'ts time to "Debrucify" the Colo. House.

That's what they call emergency measures to counteract his TABOR amendment.

So far as an interim legislator he has mostly just acted like a fool. But this insult has gone too far.

[niyad]

3. slum lord dougie is an embarrassment to all who know him. for somebody

who hates government as much as he says he does, he loves being on the public payroll.

when he was county commissioner, I asked another commissioner what it was like working with him. her comment: "we don't work with him. he sits in his office, and we take care of business>

the only advantage I can see in having him in office is that there is a telephone number where I can leave messages, not that he ever responds.

[niyad]

4. personally, I think dougie and grover norquist are related. somebody who knew of him

when he was in CA said that, back then at least, he was a fairly reasonable person. does anybody here know what he was like back then?

[izquierdista]

6. I knew him in Calif.

He was an ASSHOLE!

Excuse me, that wasn't descriptive enough...

He was an ASSHOLE!!!!

He is the walking epitome of every lawyer joke ever written. He makes Leona Helmsley look like Mother Theresa.

If you really want to get back at him, superglue a penny to a fire-ant nest and watch as the cheap bastard gets bitten for hours trying to pull Old Abe away from the ants.

[abq e streeter]

7. So, I see that he's a republican...who could've guessed?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

8. I'm gonna say it again:

The repukes are where all the white-boy coke dealers, the really vile ones who didn't get popped, ended up. With their money to buy their way to legitimacy.

Watch "Cocaine Cowboys" over at Google Video and learn. It's as plain as the nose on your face(Hi Finnfan!).

[bluerum]

9. What shitpond did this creature slither out of?

[CanonRay]

23. It's called El Paso County

[sonias]

11. Dumb ass idiot

He might be related to this guy:




Sonia

[Hawkeye-X]

12. This dick represents FotF

And does not really truly reflects Colorado Springs.

Hopefully the fine citizens of Colorado Springs will kick him out this fall.

(He's also the idiot that wrote the TABOR law that has gotten Colorado in a rut)

Hawkeye-X

[laylah]

24. He has been a boil on

Colorado's proverbial butt for at LEAST 2 decades. I remember the Tabor Amendment well...what a jerk!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

13. Is it the Radon? the Water? the lack of Oxygen at high altitudes?

bob schaffer is a liar and a cheat, AND he is gonna have a horrible time with every political group, including his fave, the family values assholes. His Marianas Islands stuff is just beginning to grow.
Bruce is out of the same school, obviously. what a collection of asses, stupid, moronic ones.

Why do so many of them appear in Colorado?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

14. "Why do so many of them appear in Colorado? "

Well, from what I have seen over the years, starting with when I went to U. of D. , the mountains and the mystique tend to attract a certain type of self-styled "rugged individualist", the kind of person who plays the movie "Jeramiah Johnson", masturbates throughout and then cries himself to sleep. People go loony and weird there. Might be the lack of oxygen.

I saw it in all these Eastern kids who went to school there: they immediately bought waffle-stompers, flannel shirts and weed and headed to Niederland. When they returned, you could tell they had started a scraggly beard.

20. Simple answer: they all moved here after they realized California was slipping from their grasp

It's as simple as that.

15. His inner nastiness shows right through in his photos!

This is a GOOD photo he has chosen to feature at his website:

Jesus Christ. What a spectacular a-hole. Wouldn't be surprised if the Republicans run him for President some time.

[depakid]

16. Illiterate peasants- some of whom speak 3 languages

Native Indian, Spanish and English.

I wonder how many languages this stooge speaks?

[heliarc]

21. And while they are speaking so many languages

they tend our crops... the food we eat. What a cretin this guy is!

[Canuckistanian]

17. Wha? "refused to co-sponsor a resolution honoring military veterans"??

What was THAT about?

Don't these idiots like to suck up to veterans to make themselves look like big, brave men?

[UTUSN]

18. Rethugs!1 removed him from a committee?!1 How NUT-casey CAN he be?!1 /t

[xxqqqzme]

19. he should move up quickly in the publican machine.

He just needs to learn how to be subtle and go over that code again. Then he'll be ready for congress.

[CanonRay]

22. This guy is such an ass...

He's a wonderful embarrassment to the Rethugs here in Colorado.
