This Is Progress...Or is it?

It looks like I got ahead of myself on this Blog Posting. It was not until I had finished pecking it out that I decided to search my Published Blog Postings to find out if I had already written about the New Senator from Colorado. It was then I found out I had done just that on April 2, 2019.

Don’t chastise me. It is hard to remember the 1,491 I have published in Blogger (much less the many I have done in other outlets).

Trying to cover for myself, I realized that I had done a pretty good job on this new one and, even though there is some duplication, I really did treat him and his proclivities from a rather different viewpoint, so I’m keeping it and I recommend you read on.

If you were to be perfectly honest with me, you can’t remember what I said in my Blog Postings on November 1, 2 and 3, so why should you not take my recommendation in the paragraph above and Read On!

Allow me to introduce to you our new Senator from Colorado. The Bold Text below comes to you out of a Smoke-Filled Room in the past...

OK. This is serious! The word it out that when John was in the second grade he dipped Peggy Sue’s Pigtail in his ink well. We have got to control this story! This is the kind of scandal that can ruin his chances for being elected to any political office at any time in the future!

That was the Smoke-Filled Past and, my Dear Readers, this is the So What Present...

John Hickenlooper was elected Mayor of Denver, Governor of Colorado, briefly ran for President last year and he is now the New U.S. Senator from Colorado.

While he was Governor and before he ran for President (and Senator) he wrote a book about all of his sexual escapades and, obviously, it did not hurt his Political Chances in the least.

It’s sort of like... Peggy Sue’s Pigtail Be Damned, Full Speed Ahead!

Amazon has this as its online enticement to buy his book: 

“The maverick (and very funny) governor of Colorado tells his story, from early loss to college on the ten-year plan, to remarkable business and political success.
 
In just over a decade, John Hickenlooper has gone from brew pub entrepreneur to governor of Colorado, hailed by political analysts and media alike as a solid contender to be the next vice president. In The Opposite of Woe, Hickenlooper tells his own story of unlikely success in his singularly sharp and often hilarious voice.”

If Democratic voters are struggling to see what sets John Hickenlooper apart from the 2020 pack they need to look no further than his autobiography, which outlines in excruciating detail his quest to lose his virginity and, seemingly, every sexual exploit since.

The candidate's book, The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer and Politics, outlines the journey from a child in the Philadelphia suburbs to the president of a brewing company, mayor of Denver, and then governor of Colorado.

Sprinkled throughout is the minutiae of his angst-ridden relationships with women, named and unnamed. A Washington Examiner analysis totaled Hickenlooper's declared sexual partners at seven, including his two wives. Even his experience of the 9/11 terrorism attacks is viewed through the prism of whom he was in bed with at the time.

In March 2019, after he announced he was running for President of the United States, Hickenlooper told this story...

The former Democratic governor of Colorado explained how he once took his mother to see the adult film "Deep Throat" with him and a friend.

Hickenlooper recounts the story in a 2016 memoir, the Denver Post reported.

As proof we have moved on from being put off about such things, I offer the refrain we heard from supporters of that famous political Big Wig from not that long ago... “Everybody lies about sex”.

This Is Progress...Or is it?

Lagniappe:

Hickenlooper announced his candidacy for president on March 4, 2019 arguing that he was best positioned to carry Democrats to victory in 2020.

"I believe that not only can I beat Donald Trump, but that I am the person that can bring people together on the other side and actually get stuff done," he said.

Proof that he is an astute politician is seen in the fact that he used the word “stuff”. Voters fall for that word every time.
