So, Sen McCain, do you denounce this controversial statement by a fellow western re... oh, what was I thinking.
DENVER -- Lawmakers are trying to determine what kind of action will be taken against Republican Rep. Douglas Bruce after he was ordered to leave the podium of the Colorado House of Representatives for saying that Colorado doesn't need "5,000 more illiterate peasants."Bruce denied later he was talking about Mexicans, rather, it was in regard to greasy, shiftless... ummm, look! Batman!
Bruce made the comment Monday during a debate on a bill that would allow the state to help immigrant workers get temporary visas from the federal government. Rep. Kathleen Curry, D-Gunnison, who was chairing the floor debate, ordered Bruce to leave the speaker's podium after saying, "How dare you?"
