Bloomberg Buys Colorado

Or at least attempts to, dropping $350K on beleaguered pols facing recall. Fellow billionaire and Los Angeles arts nobbler Eli Broad* also kicked in $250K. With 2 weeks to go before the vote, the residents of Colo Spgs and Pueblo are going to be hearing a lot of radio and TV ads and getting an unending string of robo calls explaining how wonderful their senators are and how unfortunate it is that "outside interests" are trying to unseat them.

Governor Chickenpooper is already on board having ceded the title of Mayor of Colorado to Bloomberg, and taken up the job of Bloomberg's butler.

Coloradans are typically rather touchy about out-of-staters with delusions of grandeur, but with the big influx of refugees from California who knows, the nanny state may be appealing.

*He's the B in KB homes among other things.
